Gohan's Second Chance

by Kuraekakashi

First published 30th of December, 2017

Gohan's being hunted after the Cell Games. "Why!?" He asks. With some help, he ends up in a new world.

Gohan, the savior of humanity, is being hunted by most of his loved ones. Gohan uses the Dragon Balls to seek a new life. Little did he know, Shenron took his word seriously.

How will Gohan fare in this new world, and will he be treated the same way? Will he make new friends, and help them along the way?

Takes place after the Cell Games.

What Happened? (Edited)

Cell had been defeated. He was finally dead.

This was a time to celebrate, right?

A time to be happy?

That wasn't the case for the savior of humanity, Son Gohan.

But why? Why wasn't that the case?

Gohan saved the world from Cell, at the cost of Goku's own life. They wanted to wish him back, but he refused to return.

Well, what happened next?

Almost everyone Gohan knew turned on him. Piccolo, his own mother, and just about everyone he knew.

Why?

They thought Gohan caused Goku's death.

It didn't make any sense.

Only three people remained loyal to Gohan. Krillin, Bulma and Vegeta.

Krillin's loyalty made perfect sense to Gohan. Krillin knew Goku by heart, and understood why he sacrificed himself for the world.

Bulma had the same reasons as Krillin.

Vegeta, however, was rather weird and unexpected. He had a hatred for Goku, but why was he so loyal to his son? Wouldn't he be like everyone else, and hate him?

No. Only Vegeta himself knows why he even cared to be on Gohan's side at all.

Actually, it's because Gohan saved his as-"Would you fuck off, author!?" Vegeta yelled.

Fine, don't be a dick about it.

The fact that almost everyone wants to kill Gohan astonished even Bulma and Vegeta.

Vegeta killed many races, "fucked up a ton of shit," and even blew up a ton of planets.

Piccolo was Goku's nemesis and even killed him before.

Trunks even had Gohan as his master in his future.

It just showed Gohan that everyone will turn on you in a minute, no matter how close you are to them or hypocritical they were.

The heartbreaking realization made Gohan want to just fly into the sun.

Where is Gohan today?

It's only been a year since the Cell Games. Since then, he only has armor given to him by Vegeta. He's barely surviving. He's homeless, starving and dying.

Piccolo, Future Trunks, Tenshinhan, Yamcha, and Chi Chi were searching for Gohan, as they desired to kill him.

Gohan was surprised someone like his mother, or even Piccolo would resent him for something like that.
Especially his mother. She married the guy, knowing his pure yet dumb nature.

She knew he would sacrifice his own life as he did before.

But... Now it's Gohan's fault.

And Piccolo was being a huge hypocrite in doing so.

Going to Capsule Corp wasn't an option because everyone would know he was there.

Gohan refused suicide, no matter how tempting it was.

He refused it, as he considered it a coward's way out.

"And... And I don't want to be a coward!" Gohan says.

But he doesn't want to fight.

He can't bring himself to hurt his mother even in self defense. He loves her too much for that.

Having to kill the person who once trained Gohan for the greater good who now hunted him was definitely not something Gohan wanted to do.

Killing his friends in self defense would make him spiral into a depression that would never disappear.

He hypothesized that he'd go insane.

His final option other than fighting for his life...

Was the dragon balls.

Gohan has been in search for the Dragon Balls, and Bulma gave him the dragon radar.

Gohan had just gotten the seventh dragon ball.

Vegeta had helped, and so did Krillin.

The seven dragon balls were on the ground.

"Go ahead, make your wish." Vegeta said, arms crossed.

"Alright... I just want to thank you two. You guys are the only ones who forgave me." Gohan said.

"Don't sweat it, Gohan. I'm sure Goku would've done the same." Krillin said.

"I don't care that Kakarot's dead, nor do I care about you in the slightest, but I do have a debt to repay. So make your wish." Vegeta said.

"O-Okay... Alright, Arise, Shenron!" Gohan yelled.

Out of the seven balls, a huge dragon emerged. It was Shenron, the eternal dragon.

"You have summoned me. Make your wish, and I shall grant it." Shenron said.

Gohan looked at Krillin who nodded to Gohan with a serious look. Then, Vegeta gave him a reassuring smile, which was unusual.

"Okay... Mighty dragon! Grant my-" "Hold it right there!" Piccolo interrupted.

Gohan turned around in surprise. He saw Piccolo alongside Tenshinhan, Yamcha, and Trunks.

"W-Why!?" Gohan asked.

Vegeta went Super Saiyan. "Hurry and make your wish, runt!" He said before clashing with Piccolo and Trunks.

Krillin fought with Tenshinhan and Yamcha.

"Dragon! Send me to another place! Or world! A place where I won't be hated like they hate me, please! It can be anywhere! It can be full of unicorns and ponies for all I care!" Gohan cried. Tears rolled down his face.

"No!" Trunks said before being punched by Vegeta, who was then kicked by Piccolo, who was charging something in his fingers.

"You wish to be taken to another world, where you shan't be hated as badly as them?" Shenron asked.

"Yes! Please!" Gohan yelled.

"Your wish is granted." Shenron said as his eyes glowed.

"Makankosappo!" Piccolo yelled. A very powerful beam came out of his fingers aimed for Gohan.

The beam impaled Gohan in the stomach.

At that moment, Gohan went unconscious. He was teleported at that moment as well.

The beam managed to go halfway through Gohan's body.

"Damn it!" Tenshinhan said.

"He's gone now! Why can't you guys just forget about him!?" Krillin asked.

"He caused Goku's death, twice! That's not cool, man!" Yamcha said.

"That dumbass is dead, get over it you dolts! Prepare for death!" Vegeta yelled before charging at his opponents.

***

Gohan tried opening his eyes...

"Can you hear me?" Someone said.

"I... I can..." Gohan said.

Gohan was in some sort of limbo.

"I know you're hurt badly, but the place we're sending you off to will be perfect!... But not at first glance." Someone said.

"W-Who are you...?" Gohan asked.

"Me? I'm just the guy who sends people off to other worlds because of a wish. Someone appears here once in a blue moon. Well, have fun!" He said.

'Fun... I wish.' Gohan thought.

Author's Notes:

I know the edits don't justify a few of the dumb things like Piccolo's betrayal, but I tried making the first chapter make a little more sense.

Gohan In Ponyville, and vs Nightmare Moon (Edited Heavily)

Twilight Sparkle had just arrived in Ponyville. She was a unicorn raised in Canterlot. She met a lot of ponies, five of whom followed her back to her new home.

They had just seen Nightmare Moon before she vanished into the Everfree Forest.

An explosion could be heard. A white flash of light could be seen at the center of Ponyville.

"What was that!?" Twilight asked, quickly rushing outside her treehouse library.

The baby dragon, Spike and the five other ponies quickly followed.

Many ponies gathered around this new creature. It had a hole in its stomach.

The new creature was Gohan.

"What is that... That looks awful!" One pony said.

"Get it away from my little filly!" Another pony said, shielding her filly's eyes.

"It looks hurt!" A certain yellow pegasus said.

It was Fluttershy, caretaker of animals. She approached the unconscious Gohan.

"You probably shouldn't get near that thing, Fluttershy." An orange earth pony said. It was Applejack.

"Yes, it could be hostile!" A white unicorn said.

It was Rarity, the seamstress.

"This... This is a new species..." Twilight said.

It was Twilight Sparkle, the magic prodigy.

Then, Gohan opened his eyes. Then he closed them, and instantly groaned in pain.

He held his stomach.

Everyone stepped back. Everyone except for Fluttershy, that is.

"Ow... W-Who's there?" Gohan asked, slightly opening his eyes again. He sat up as well.

Everyone was surprised that this thing just talked.

"Horses?..." Gohan asked.

"We are ponies, for your information!" Twilight scolded.

"O-Oh... Excuse me... I'm so sorry." Gohan said, cowering and tearing up.

That voice just reminded him of his mother.

The painful memory of her disowning him...

"Are you alright?" Fluttershy asked.

"N-No... I have a hole... In my stomach." Gohan said, lifting his hand to show the blood.

'And obviously something else...' He thought.

"That thing is a monster!" A pony yelled.

"W-Wha?... Shenron... You didn't..." Gohan said before tears rolled down his face.

The rest of the memories came back.

"You monster!"

"No!" Fluttershy said, breaking that thought.

"It's hurt, helpless and needs us!" She said.

Gohan looked to Fluttershy quizzically.

"Fluttershy's right... It needs help." A cyan pegasus flying overhead said.

It was Rainbow Dash, the fastest flyer in Equestria.

Then, Gohan had a little hope. Shenron may have done it.

"That thing looks disgusting!" Another pony yelled.

The memories came back...

"Stop!" Twilight yelled.

"Tell us your name, uh... What are you?" She asked.

"I-I'm Gohan... A half human, half Saiyan." Gohan said.

"There's only one way that thing's getting in the hospital! Get it to talk Nightmare Moon down!" A pony said.

"What!? Don't do that to the poor thing!" Fluttershy said.

"Nightmare... Moon?" Gohan asked.

"I'm not surprised... Nightmare Moon ponynapped Princess Celestia, the ruler of Equestria. We need to defeat her somehow..." Twilight said,

"...I'll do it..." Gohan said, standing up.

This exposed the hole in his stomach, as well as his armor.

Everyone was surprised at his height.

"B-But you're hurt, Gohan!" Twilight said.

"If you guys will help me-" Gohan said before he coughed blood into his arm.

Fluttershy gasped.

Rarity retched.

"Excuse me... If you will help me if I help you, I have to do it..." Gohan said.

"You couldn't even harm Nightmare Moon even if you tried!" Twilight said.

"Harm? So I must fight?" Gohan asked.

'But I don't LIKE to fight...' He thought to himself.

"Yeah, you wouldn't be able to do anything if you tried!" Twilight said.

Despite Gohan's dislike for battle, his Saiyan instincts excited him, despite his wound.

"I'll battle this Nightmare Moon." Gohan said with a serious face.

"Don't! You'll die!" Fluttershy said.

Gohan flew up a little. "I sense a huge power level over that way. I will return... Please help me then." He said.

"Uh... Alright?" Twilight said.

"Thank you so much!" Gohan said with glee before slowly flying away.

"How did that thing fly?" Rainbow Dash asked.

"What's a Saiyan? Or a human? OOH! Can we call it a Saiyaman!?" Pinkie Pie asked.

"Calm down, Pinkie. We have to save it before it dies!" Twilight said.

"Let's follow that thing!" Applejack asked.

"Alright!" Rainbow Dash, Rarity, Twilight, Fluttershy and Pinkie Pie said.

The Mane 6 ran towards the Everfree Forest.

Gohan flew over the entire forest in moments, and found an ancient, ruined castle.

He quickly entered the castle.

Gohan immediately saw 5 stones. He paid no attention to them.

Gohan walked for a bit, but stopped in his tracks. His vision began to blur.

"Oh no..." He said.

The wound Piccolo left him...

In both his heart and his stomach was starting to affect his consciousness.

Gohan fell over.

After this, he sat up, holding his stomach.

It hurt, oh did it hurt.

Gohan would kill Nightmare Moon if it meant easing the pain.

He was desperate at this point.

Living like a fugitive on the run, he wanted a way out.

But it could never ease the pain.... Not forever.

Gohan decided to rest up, he needed to gather his energy for his new foe.

He took his sweet time.

"Concentrate... You can muster the strength to fight Nightmare Moon." He said to himself.

The Mane 6 were going through the challenges of the Everfree Forest. They showed the magic of friendship in order to overcome them.

After Rainbow Dash rebuilt a bridge for her friends to pass, they were at the entrance of a castle belonging to the royal sisters.

"Here it is." Twilight said, opening the door.

The Mane Six saw Gohan sitting down.

"Gohan?" Twilight asked.

Gohan quickly looked over his shoulder. "Oh... Hello..." He said.

"Did you face Nightmare Moon?" Rainbow Dash asked.

"Not yet... I'm about to go." Gohan said, standing up.

"Oh no! You shouldn't be fighting with that wound, you poor thing." Fluttershy said, inspecting Gohan's wound.

She made sure not to touch it.

"If I defeat Nightmare Moon, I can get myself healed up! Don't worry..." Gohan said with a weak smile.

"But you won't beat Nightmare Moon!" Twilight said.

"H-How so?" Gohan asked.

"She's as strong as Princess Celestia!" Twilight said.

"I-I'm sorry, I'm afraid don't know who this 'Celestia' is..." Gohan said.

"I understand she's a ruler, but I don't know her." He said.

"She's the strongest!" Twilight said.

"But, I have more strength... More than you... You think." Gohan said, catching his breath.

"You leave her to us, Gohan!" Rainbow Dash said.

The two pegasi carefully set the 5 stones down to the ground.

Twilight took the 5 stones. They were what made the Elements of Harmony.

However, in that moment...

Twilight was teleported to face Nightmare Moon somewhere else.

"What?" Applejack asked.

Gohan could sense Nightmare Moon and Twilight in a tower.

"Follow me!" Gohan said, flying to their location.

Nightmare Moon had already shattered the five stones.

"No!" Twilight said.

"It is futile! Surrender now!" Nightmare Moon said.

Gohan and the others rushed in.

"Nightmare Moon!" Gohan yelled, pointing at Nightmare Moon. "Prepare yourself!" He said.

"What is this? A mere child is challenging me? Don't make me laugh." Nightmare Moon said.

Gohan landed and walked closer to Nightmare Moon. "Test me." He said, with a serious face.

"Thou challenges me? Thou shall die!" Nightmare Moon yelled, shooting a powerful blast of magic from her horn.

"No! Get out of there, Gohan!" Twilight yelled.

Gohan held one hand up to shield the powerful blast.

Smoke was everywhere. Gohan couldn't be seen inside of it.

"The child is dead. Such bravery, might I add." Nightmare Moon said.

"Dead? I'm not one to die." Gohan said, powering up to clear the smoke.

"W-What is this!? T-Thou isn't... Dead!?" Nightmare Moon asked, horrified at her futile attempt.

"What in tarnation!?" Applejack asked.

"How about I blast you!?" Gohan asked, placing one hand in front of the other. He raised them over his head and a yellow energy ball charged in front of them.

"W-What the... Magic!?" Twilight asked.

"Impossible!" Nightmare Moon said.

"Masenko.... HA!" Gohan yelled, shooting a powerful blast at Nightmare Moon.

Nightmare Moon hadn't bothered to block.

She believed the blast would do nothing.

She took it on with the most evil of grins, and...

She was hit right in the face!

She was knocked back a little, surprisingly.

That shocked the ponies even more.

Nightmare Moon took damage.

From no other than a Saiyan!

"How can a mere child... Damage such a deity as me!? Impossible!" She yelled.

The Mane 6 looked in disbelief. This random creature seemingly used magic to actually damage Nightmare Moon, in an injured state!

Nightmare Moon shot another blast at Gohan, which he kicked away.

"Please, I don't want to hurt you anymore!" Gohan said.

"You demand that I surrender? Don't make me laugh! You're at your breaking point!" Nightmare Moon said.

She could see that wound.

And she attacked!

She started with four magic blasts.

Gohan sidestepped to dodge one, and jumped over another.

He swatted another away and tanked one more right in the chest.

Gohan stood on the ground again.

He seemed unfazed.

"Let's go!" He yelled, dashing forward.

Each step was combined with pain.

He threw a punch at Nightmare Moon with tears in his eyes.

They were from physical pain.

Nightmare Moon's head was hit to the side, but she responded with a blast of magic.

Gohan barely dodged and performed a roundhouse kick.

Nightmare Moon managed to maneuver under that and smashed her horn into his stomach.

Gohan coughed blood as she blasted him away.

He rolled on the ground for a few seconds before eventually stopping.

"I said it was futile to challenge me!" Nightmare Moon called.

Gohan managed to get himself up.

"Gohan, don't!" Fluttershy pleaded.

"Stay back! I'm going to win!" Gohan yelled, jumping at Nightmare Moon.

He seemed really resilient...

"What a brave creature..." Rarity said.

Nonetheless, Gohan couldn't keep up the 'unbreakble' act for much longer.

His wound was making it harder as time passed.

The two started clashing more and more.

"How in tarnation is Gohan standing up to that Nightmare Moon!?" Applejack exclaimed.

"I don't understand... An injured creature is actually going toe to toe with Nightmare Moon!" Twilight said.

"He doesn't seem like he can last long." Rainbow Dash said.

"Then we need to utilize the time!" Twilight said, looking to the broken elements.

"Hragh!" Gohan yelled as he kicked Nightmare Moon.

He flew backwards for some distance,

The combination of pain and fighting tired him.

He was panting, getting as much air as possible.

Nightmare Moon herself was damaged, but was clearly winning the war of attrition.

She shot an evil grin.

"I can almost hear your tiny little heart shrieking..." She said sinisterly.

"Afraid to fail, afraid to die... Afraid to go back to such an excavated past..." She said.

"Be quiet!" Gohan yelled, running at Nightmare Moon.

He hadn't even questioned how she knew that.

But, that was the reaction she was hoping for with her bluff.

Gohan fell into Nightmare Moon's trap.

Nightmare Moon used her magic to ensnare him!

"What!?" Gohan asked, struggling to move.

Nightmare Moon cackled. "You thought you could defeat me!? Child!? Don't be serious." She said.

"Now, make a choice! Join me, or die." Nightmare Moon said.

"Never! I won't side with evil...!" Gohan yelled.

"Your choice, child!" Nightmare Moon yelled.

She slowly started to tear at Gohan's wound with her magic.

Gohan screamed in pain.

The wound very, very slowly widened for maximum pain.

Even more screaming combined with tears came from that.

Nightmare Moon relished in it.

Blood started to seep out...

In that moment, Twilight figured it out.

"Girls, I figured it out!" Twilight said.

"Then get on with it!" Rainbow Dash said.

"Nightmare Moon!" Twilight yelled.

Nightmare Moon paid no attention to Twilight, she was too busy torturing Gohan.

Gohan felt totally helpless.

Nightmare Moon got to his head...

And now he was at her mercy.

But...

He had to fight, he just had to!

'Fight or die... Fight or die!' He thought.

"I WON'T LOSE!" He yelled.

He screamed with a burst of strength!

An intense yellow aura appeared!

"The spirits of the Elements of Harmony live on, even though their broken!" Twilight said. "They're right here!" She added.

Gohan's hair and eyebrows turned yellow, and his irises turned blue.

Nightmare Moon was losing her grip...

Gohan's aura grew bigger, and shattered the magic!

Nightmare Moon recoiled in shock.

"W-What!? You were holding back!?" She asked.

Gohan floated in the air, in front of Nightmare Moon.

He was panting, as his form couldn't last long, but if he didn't do much, he could defeat her.

"I am a Super Saiyan!" Gohan yelled.

The 5 shattered stones began to float around the Mane 6.

"Applejack, who reassured me while I doubted her, represents the spirit of Honesty!" Twilight yelled.

The stone representing honesty floated around Applejack.

Gohan caught on to what Twilight was doing, and didn't attack. "They will end this!" He yelled.

"T-The stones are shattered! Impossible! Two problems, this is terrible!" Nightmare Moon yelled.

"Fluttershy, who tamed the Manticore with compassion, represents the spirit of Kindness!" Twilight yelled.

The stone representing kindness floated around Fluttershy.

"Pinkie Pie, who banished fear by giggling in the face of danger, represents the spirit of Laughter!" Twilight yelled.

The stone representing laughter floated around Pinkie Pie.

"Rarity, who calmed the sorrowful serpent with a meaningful gift, represents the spirit of Generosity!" Twilight yelled.

The stone representing generosity floated around Rarity.

"And Rainbow Dash, who could not abandon her friends for her own heart's desire, represents the spirit of Loyalty!" Twilight yelled.

The stone representing loyalty floated around Rainbow Dash.

"The spirits of these ponies overcame the challenges you threw at us!" Twilight yelled.

"There's no sixth element!" Nightmare Moon laughed.

Gohan noticed the Elements of Harmony growing in power. He cupped his hands together at his side.

"Ka..." He said.

"It is here. It needed a different kind of spark. I realized that you girls are all, my friends!" Twilight yelled.

"Me..." Gohan said, as a blue ball of energy appeared in between his hands.

The sixth Element of Harmony appeared in the form of a stone.

"Ha..." Gohan said.

"The spark that resides in all of our hearts created the sixth element. The element of Magic!" Twilight yelled.

The sixth element, magic shone a bright light.

"Me..." Gohan said.

The shattered stones floating around the five ponies all morphed into five necklaces with each representation of the Elements of Harmony.

The sixth element morphed into a crown, representing magic. It fell on top of Twilight's head.

A double rainbow blasted towards the sky, and flew back down towards Nightmare Moon.

"HA!" Gohan yelled, unleashing the Kamehameha wave at Nightmare Moon. The blast had nearly every bit of his energy left in him.

"NOOOO!" Nightmare Moon yelled as she was engulfed by both of the blasts.

The only difference was, Gohan's blast blew a hole in the wall, and could be seen across the horizon.

Aftermath of Nightmare Moon

The resulting flash of light had the Mane 6 collapse to the ground.

Gohan was exhausted.

He couldn't remain to be a Super Saiyan, so he reverted back to his base form, and floated gently back to the ground.

As soon as he landed, he fell to his knees. "At... At least I can get help now..." He muttered.

The Mane 6 groaned as everyone woke up.

"Ugh... Everypony alright?" Applejack asked.

"My tail!" Rarity said, noticing her regrown tail.

"Oh my... Rarity, it's so lovely!" Fluttershy said.

"I know! I will never part with it again!" Rarity exclaimed.

"No... I meant your necklace! It looks just like your cutie mark!" Fluttershy said.

Rarity noticed the difference. "So is yours!" She said.

Then, everyone noticed the necklaces.

"Look at mine!" Pinkie Pie said, jumping around.

"Aw, yeah!" Rainbow Dash said.

"Twilight, ah thought you were a lot of hooey, but we really do represent the Elements of Friendship!" Applejack said.

"Yep!" Pinkie Pie said.

"Oh my... Gohan!" Fluttershy exclaimed, noticing his exhausted state.

"D-Don't mind me..." Gohan said, looking over his shoulder. "We won." He added.

Then, Princess Celestia appeared with a flash of light, and the Sun rose.

The Mane 6 bowed, while Gohan remained still.

"G-Gohan! Bow!" Twilight whispered.

"U-Uh... Oh! O-Okay!" Gohan said, turning around and bowing down with the little strength he had left.

"There is no need, young child." Celestia said.

"Uh... Okay ma'am!" Gohan said, kneeling with a straight back again, even though it hurt like hell.

"Princess Celestia!" Twilight exclaimed, rushing over to the alicorn and embracing her.

"Twilight Sparkle, my faithful student! I knew you could do it... But surprisingly... A different source helped you." Celestia said.

"You told me that it was all an old pony tale!" Twilight said.

"I told you to make friends, and it seems you have made six!" Celestia said.

"I-I'm... A friend?" Gohan asked, pointing at himself.

"Why of course. You assisted greatly, and I am very grateful. You have a wound, do you not?" Celestia asked.

"U-Uh... Yes ma'am." Gohan said.

"I shall heal you. Stand still." Celestia said. Her horn glowed, firing some yellow magic to Gohan.

With that, Gohan's wound quickly healed, showing his stomach/abs.

"Oh my gosh... Thank you so much!" Gohan said with a huge smile.

He stood up.

"You are very welcome, what is your name?" Celestia asked.

"I'm Son Gohan." Gohan said.

"Okay, Son Gohan. Where are you from?" Celestia asked.

Gohan paused. He remembered how his friends and family just turned on him.

His smile faded, and he frowned upon remembering.

"I believe that is a story for another day, I suppose." Celestia said.

"Y-Yes..." Gohan said.

"I really don't want to talk about it." He added.

"You have my gratitude. Now, Princess Luna." Celestia said.

Princess Luna had been attempting to get up, she was damaged by Gohan's Kamehameha pretty badly.

Celestia approached Luna. "It has been a thousand years since I have seen you like this. It is time to put our differences beside us. We were meant to rule together, little sister." She said.

"Sister?" The Mane 6 asked.

"I thought so... Their ki are so similar!" Gohan said.

"Will you accept my friendship?" Celestia asked.

"I'm so sorry! I've missed you so much, big sister!" Luna said as she came close to Celestia.

The two sisters shed a few tears.

Gohan wished he could see his newborn brother. But, he was glad two other siblings were reunited.

"I've missed you too." Celestia said.

Pinkie Pie was crying.

She was a fountain of tears. But then it just stopped.

"Hey! Do you know what this calls for?" Pinkie Pie asked.

Then, all of a sudden, everyone was back in Ponyville.

Gohan was left confused.

"A PARTY!" Pinkie Pie said. Confetti flew everywhere.

"W-Wha?" Gohan asked.

He was wondering how the hell he just got there.

Everypony was rushing to the center of the town.

Gohan stood alongside the Mane 6, and the two royal sisters.

"Why so glum, Twilight? Your quest is over, you can return for your studies in Canterlot." Celestia said.

"I know... But when I learned about making friends and actually made them, I now have to leave them!" Twilight said.

Gohan couldn't help but be confused at what was happening, but didn't ask.

"Spike, take a note please. I, Princess Celestia, hereby decree, that the unicorn, Twilight Sparkle shall take on a new mission for Equestria. She must continue to study the magic of friendship. She must report her findings to me, in her new home, Ponyville." Celestia said.

Spike, the baby dragon wrote it all down.

The rest of the Mane 6 hugged Twilight.

Gohan walked closer, but that was all.

"Thank you, Princess Celestial!" Twilight said.

The whole town cheered, and Gohan was still left confused.

"Gohan!" A very, very similar voice called.

Gohan couldn't believe it. "D-Dad!?" Gohan called.

"Yes, son! It's me, your father!" Goku said, from the Other World.

Everypony looked at Gohan weirdly. Who was he talking to?

"W-Why did you call?" Gohan asked.

"I wanted to see how you were doing, and... Your mother showed me that it wasn't great. But, now you're in this new world. I'll call from time to time, son! I just saw what you did, and I'm real proud of you." Goku said.

"W-Wow, thanks, dad!" Gohan said, a smile on his face.

"Gohan, darling." Rarity said. "Just who are you speaking with?" She asked.

Gohan quickly realized what he did. "Oh! I was just talking with my dad!" Gohan said.

"But where is he?" Applejack asked.

"He's-... Uh... D-Dead." Gohan said, the smile disappearing. He cowered away a little bit.

There was an awkward silence.

"What is he, a ghost or something? Are you a weirdo?" Rainbow Dash asked.

"H-He's a great man... But let's say it's..." Gohan said.

"Magic." Goku said.

The rest of 8 ponies could hear Goku.

"Hi! I'm Goku! Take good care of my son, alright?" Goku said.

"Well, we sure will, Mr. Goku." Fluttershy said.

"Bye!" Goku said.

"Bye dad!" Gohan said.

"Wow, to think we thought you were crazy, darling." Rarity said.

Gohan laughed. "I am a little unusual, I suppose." He said.

Everyone laughed.

"Darling, I must make you a new set of clothing! Your current attire has quite a hole." Rarity said.

"B-But I don't have the funds to pay..." Gohan said.

"Nonsense! It will be free, and it will be perfect!" Rarity said.

"Thanks!" Gohan said.

"Hey, let's get to know Gohan and Twilight better!" Pinkie said.

"Uh... Okay!" Gohan said.

That day, Gohan made a decision. He liked this place. At first, the denizens did not welcome him, but making friends proved otherwise for the Saiyan. He could forget the past, and live in peace, at last.

Or, could he?

Gohan's Next Day (The Ticket Master) (Edited)

It was a new day, and Gohan had some things to do.

Gohan slept inside Fluttershy's cottage. She thought Gohan was an animal, after all.

He still had the torn up Saiyan armor on...

But his boots were off.

So his feet were covered in the spandex.

Nonetheless, he managed to sleep well.

Waking up, he noticed that Fluttershy was up in the other room.

He pushed the green blanket off himself and got out of bed.

He quickly got his boots on and walked into the living room.

Fluttershy was taking care of the animals' breakfasts.

She just finished filling the bird feed.

"There you are." She said as the birds started eating up.

"Hello." Gohan said.

Fluttershy turned around.

"Oh! Good morning." She said.

"Do you need any help?" Gohan asked.

"If you'd like to, that'd be nice." Fluttershy said.

Gohan was kind enough to help Fluttershy feed the other animals.

Ranging from the mice, the other birds and Harry the Bear.

With Harry...

Outside...

"C-Calm down!" Gohan said, holding a basket of berries.

He dodged numerous swipes from Harry.

"I have berries!" He said, holding out a handful of berries.

Harry roared and tried clawing them from Gohan's hand.

"Harry!" Fluttershy scolded.

Well, that got him to stop.

"Gohan was just trying to feed you, and you treat him like that?" Fluttershy asked.

Harry looked sad and turned to Gohan.

"Now, say that you're sorry." Fluttershy said.

Harry made out noises that sounded like a sorry.

"That's okay!" Gohan said, holding out the basket to Harry.

***

Right outside the door of Fluttershy's cottage...

"Thank you very much." Fluttershy said.

"Your welcome. I need to get this patched up, so I'll leave." Gohan said, patting his armor.

"Hurry back." Fluttershy said.

"Oh, and I'll try and make this 'keeping me home' thing temporary, alright?" Gohan asked.

"If that's what you would like to do..." Fluttershy said.

"Okay, thanks! Bye!" Gohan said before flying into town.

Fluttershy waved as he flew away.

But she was left to wonder...

"How is Gohan flying in the first place?" She asked herself.

Gohan was soaring the skies.

Free from burden.

But, he had a small thought.

'Should I still train?' He thought.

Gohan stopped moving, and floated in the air.

"Dad?" He called.

After a few moments, his father answered.

"Yes, Gohan?" Goku asked.

"Should I... Continue to train?" Gohan asked.

"That's up to you. If I were you, I would, but I know you don't like to fight. I'd do it because it seems like you would run into stuff like that Nightmare Moon." Goku said.

"Okay dad, thanks." Gohan said.

"Anytime, son!" Goku said.

"Hey!" Rainbow Dash yelled.

Gohan turned around to see Rainbow Dash closing in.

"LOOK OUT!" She yelled.

Gohan moved out of the way in an instant.

Rainbow Dash slowed down as much as she could.

"Sorry about that." She said.

"I-It's okay, Rainbow Dash." Gohan said.

"I should tell you that some clouds are going to be placed around here. You should probably move." Rainbow Dash said.

"Oh? Excuse me, I'll leave now." Gohan said.

"See ya!" Rainbow Dash said, flying off.

Gohan flew into Ponyville. He was going to Rarity's Boutique.

He knocked on the door ever so slightly, so he wouldn't accidentally break it.

"Come in! We are open!" Rarity said.

Gohan opened the door. "Hello?" He asked.

"Oh, Gohan, darling. It's you! We should get you something to wear." Rarity said. "Follow me, we must take a few measurements, and you can describe to me what you desire to wear." She said as she trotted away.

Gohan followed.

Rarity used her magic to get her tape measure.

"Stand on this, and hold still." Rarity said.

Gohan complied.

Rarity was taking all kinds of measurements based on what he was wearing.

After a while, Rarity finished.

"Okay darling, describe to me what you desire to wear." Rarity said.

"Hm... Oh, I know! Can you get me a piece a paper, and a pencil?" Gohan asked.

"Sure thing, here you go." Rarity said, using her magic to levitate a paper, a pencil and a small table.

"That's so cool! What is that?" Gohan asked.

"It's magic. Unicorns possess magic for levitation and other spells. Although I only use it for levitation, some unicorns practice many spells for combat or safety." Rarity said.

"Wow... Magic is interesting." Gohan said.

"Yes, anyhow! Please draw what you desire." Rarity said.

Gohan quickly drew his father's gi. He went into great detail, he showed the small wrinkles, he drew the weighted, blue shirt behind and without the orange gi, weighted boots, wristbands, and the blue belt.

Gohan finished, and handed his paper to Rarity.

"My, my. You are quite the artist! What is this, though?" Rarity asked.

"It's my father's gi. I went into a little detail... He has weighted clothes with the blue clothes." Gohan said.

"Nopony has EVER asked me to create such a heavy piece of clothing. Are you sure about this? They are very heavy." Rarity asked.

"If my dad could do it at my age, so can I." Gohan said.

"Your father sounds incredibly strong. Do you mind listing some of his feats while I create your clothing?" Rarity asked, already working on Gohan's clothes.

"Where do I start... He's really powerful. I was told he sent a rabbit to the moon when he was really small!" Gohan said.

"Really? That sounds rather painful for the rabbit." Rarity said.

"He was a mob boss or something, so don't worry. He's also won the 23rd World Martial Arts tournament..." Gohan said.

"That sounds impressive." Rarity said.

"He's defeated so many people! Aliens who threatened to destroy our home, and even tyrants such as Frieza!" Gohan said.

"Did you say Frieza?" Rarity asked. "That sounds vaguely familiar." She said.

"Yes. He defeated him, by turning into the legendary Super Saiyan!" Gohan said.

"What is that?" Rarity asked.

"A Super Saiyan is an ascended Saiyan. I can do it too! I actually did it against that... I believe it was Nightmare Moon?" Gohan said.

"Yes.. Oh, was that your mane changing color?" Rarity asked.

"Yeah, it was that too." Gohan said.

"Your father sounds quite impressive. What else has he done?" Rarity asked.

"Well... He can destroy a planet if he ever wanted to, but he's too nice to do something awful like that. He can move like it's nothing in 100x normal gravity... Uh.." Gohan said.

"O-Oh my! That's insane! 100 times normal gravity!?" Rarity asked, surprised.

"Oh yes, and he can do much more than that. He can lift so many tons- He can bench press a planet!" Gohan said.

Rarity nearly fell over at that accomplishment. "A-An entire planet!?" She asked.

"Yeah..." Gohan said.

"I'm sure your father has passed on some of his amazing strengths on to you, darling." Rarity said.

"I would agree! I can do everything he can at this point!" Gohan boasted. "But there's only one thing that I don't have." He said.

"What would that be, darling?" Rarity asked.

"I... I don't really like to fight, unlike him. Saiyans have this ceaseless lust for battle, but I'm sort of half and half on it." Gohan said.

"Wow. That sounds rather okay, Gohan. Violence isn't a great pastime." Rarity said.

"Yeah... But sometimes, like against Nightmare Moon, I just both needed to and wanted to fight. It's just in my blood." Gohan said.

"Well, that could be good as well. We may encounter weird things. Like when Rainbow Dash did going through that Street Fighter phase." Rarity said, remembering when Rainbow Dash dressed as Ryu from Street Fighter and pretended to do random stuff.

***

"Hadouken!" Rainbow Dash yelled, throwing a cloud at Fluttershy.

"Oh no!" Fluttershy said, pretending to fall down. "I lose!" She said.

"Yes! I win!" Rainbow Dash said.

"I wanna be Ryu next time..." Fluttershy said.

"No! You can be Ken!" Rainbow Dash said.

"Aw..." Fluttershy said.

***

"S-She was a street fighter?" Gohan asked.

"No, I believe it was some childish video game." Rarity said.

"Oh, alright." Gohan said.

"I just finished!" Rarity said, using her magic to reveal an orange gi that looked exactly like his father's.

But she put it in Gohan's arms quickly, as it was very heavy.

"Wow. Thank you so much, Rarity!" Gohan said.

"You are very welcome, dear. Try them on!" Rarity said.

"Okay!... Do you have a booth I could try these on in?" Gohan asked.

"Oh!... Uh, sure. It is right over there." Rarity said, pointing a hoof at a booth. She only had it for ponies who weren't okay with wearing nothing in public.

Gohan went in, and came out of the booth soon after.

It was a perfect fit!

"Wow, thanks again, Rarity!" Gohan said.

"It was my pleasure. Now run along, I have more customers." Rarity said.

Gohan waved goodbye, and dumped his Saiyan armor in the trash. He then left the boutique.

"Where to today... Ah yes. The library!" Gohan said.

Gohan walked around Ponyville, heading for the library.

He wasn't completely accepted by the denizens of Ponyville. Some ponies haven't accepted him yet.

"Weirdo!" One pony yelled.

Gohan shrugged the comment off.

For some reason, it instantly rained.

Gohan looked up. "What happened?" He asked.

'It was just sunny a moment ago... The heck?' He thought.

Gohan flew up over the clouds to see who the culprit was.

He looked around to see Rainbow Dash.

"Hey! Why are you making it rain!?" Gohan asked.

Rainbow Dash looked over to see Gohan. "To prevent YOU or any pony else from getting that ticket!" She said.

"Uh... What ticket?" Gohan asked.

"Uh, to the Grand Galloping Gala! The most awesome place for the Wonderbolts?" Rainbow Dash asked.

"Uh... Not interested?... I don't even know what the Grand Galloping Gala is. Can you make it not rain anymore or something? Or is it a pattern?" Gohan asked.

"How don't you-... Whatever, yeah it's a pattern." Rainbow Dash said.

"Oh, and you look cool in that thing, I guess." She added.

"Oh, thanks! I just got it from Rarity." Gohan said.

"Yeah, okay. See you around, Gohan." Rainbow Dash said before flying off.

Gohan waved. He then flew over the clouds, seeing how astonishing the scenery was.

He could see how the pegasi could just sit on clouds.

'I wonder...' Gohan thought.

He stopped flying to let himself fall on a cloud, but he fell right through the cloud since he wasn't a pegasus.

"Bad idea, bad idea!" He said.

Gohan stopped before he smashed into the ground.

"That... Was close." He said.

He looked up to the sky. "I guess I can't sit on a cloud." He said to himself.

"You sure can't!" Pinkie Pie said, hopping around.

Gohan stood on the ground again. "Hey, Pinkie. What's going on?" He asked.

"Oh, Twilight has a ticket to the Grand Galloping Gala plus one! Everypony's trying to get Twilight to give that plus one ticket!" Pinkie Pie said.

"Uh... Alright... I still don't know what this Gala is..." Gohan said.

Pinkie Pie gasped. "YOU don't know the Grand Galloping Gala!? Let me show you!" Pinkie Pie said.

Then, the two were somehow in some random occurance.

"H-How did we get here?" Gohan asked.

The background was full of flying giant confetti and balloons.

Pinkie Pie sang a long song about how partying at the Grand Galloping Gala would be fun.

It was filled with rainbows and dancing and whatnot.

Then, they appeared back in Ponyville, and at Sugarcube Corner.

"Uh... How did we-" "Don't ask, silly! Auntie Pinkie has her tricks!" Pinkie Pie interrupted.

"We're not related, though..." Gohan said.

"Okay, I'm your ADOPTED Auntie Pinkie, how's that?" Pinkie Pie asked.

"Uh... Okay... Can I eat something?" Gohan asked.

"Oh sure! Here's 20 cupcakes, on the house!" Pinkie Pie said.

"O-On the house!? Really?" Gohan asked.

"Sure! Here!" Pinkie Pie said, pulling out a tray of twenty cupcakes out of nowhere.

"Oh, yum! They're extra large too! This will be great for one of twenty courses of a meal!" Gohan joked.

"Eat up!" Pinkie Pie said before vanishing.

Gohan was left in an empty store with a bunch of cupcakes pulled out of nowhere.

He ate them all in an instant, and remained hungry. "Oh well, I should wait until I eat a lot." He said to himself.

Gohan left the store. It was already starting to become nighttime.

'I should head to the library before I forget.' He thought to himself.

Gohan walked over to Twilight's treehouse, but saw some oddities while going over.

For some reason, there were groups of ponies trying to find something.

He shrugged it off as nothing, and went to Twilight's treehouse.

He knocked on the door.

No answer.

"She mustn't be home." Gohan said to himself. He didn't sense anything in there.

But, Twilight had just teleported there. Gohan sensed it. So he knocked again.

"No! Go away!" Spike yelled.

"I just want to see the library!" Gohan said.

"Spike, maybe let Gohan in?" Twilight asked.

The door opened. "Hurry!" Spike said.

Gohan was in very quickly.

"What's the rush?" Gohan asked.

"Everypony somehow found out I have an extra ticket to the Grand Galloping Gala and everypony trying to- Wait, you want that ticket too, don't you!?" Twilight asked.

"I... I don't really have in interest in that... I came to check out your books..." Gohan said.

"O-Oh... Pardon me. Spike, lock the doors and windows!" Twilight said.

Spike and Twilight closed every window, and turned every light off.

But, Gohan could sense 5 other ponies.

"Who's there!?" Gohan asked, pointing at the window.

The lights flashed on again. The rest of the Mane 6 were there at Twilight's window.

"Man, when she said everyone really wanted that ticket, she meant it literally." Gohan said.

Twilight screamed, bringing the attention over to her.

It also made the five come back to their senses.

"I can't decide, you're all too important to me and doing favors and giving me gifts isn't helping at all! I want to make each one of you happy, and I just can't! UUUUGGGGHHH!" She groaned.

"Are you okay?" Gohan asked.

"Try deep breathing, it gets rid of some stress." He said.

Her friends started to feel bad, and climbed down from the window.

"Twilight, I didn't mean to put so much pressure on you. You can give the ticket to somepony else, I wouldn't care at all." Applejack said.

"Me too... I feel so awful that I made you feel so awful about it." Fluttershy said.

"Me too! It's no fun to upset your friends!" Pinkie Pie said.

"Twilight, it was not fair of me to do such nice things for my own personal gain. Please forgive me." Rarity said.

"Yes! I got the ticket!" Rainbow Dash exclaimed.

Everyone looked at Rainbow Dash as she was boasting about getting the ticket.

Gohan was unamused. He even had the face to show how unamused he was.

Rainbow Dash realized what she was doing. "Uh... I haven't been practicing for the Wonderbolts for a while. I don't want to go yet, I guess." She said.

Then, everyone except for Twilight and Spike stared at Gohan.

"Uh... Why are you guys staring at me?" Gohan asked.

"Don't you have something to say?" Rarity asked.

"Uh... I'm sorry for asking to see if you had any interesting books while you were going through this time of grief?" Gohan asked.

"The ticket, you nerd!" Rainbow Dash said.

"Oh, Rainbow Dash, Gohan never asked me for the ticket." Twilight said.

"What!?" Five of the Mane 6 asked.

"Oh my, I apologize Gohan." Rarity said.

"I-It's nothing, really..." Gohan said.

Then Twilight had Spike write a letter to Celestia about a lesson she learned in friendship.

Twilight was returning her tickets to Celestia.

"Twilight, you don't have to do that!" Applejack said.

"Nope! I already made up my mind." Twilight said.

Spike sent the letter to Celestia with a quick breath of fire.

"I couldn't go there unless my best friends joined me!" Twilight said.

The Mane 6 all came into a group hug.

Gohan just stood there, surprised. 'This is just... Weird.' He thought.

Spike walked over to Gohan, who had a confused expression on his face.

"I'm with you, thi-" Spike said before something tried to make him burp.

"Why that's just like a boy, Spike. You see something a little girly, and you're all ready to barf!" Applejack said.

"D-Does that exclude me, somehow?" Gohan asked.

"Yeah, you- Wait, are you a boy or a girl?" Applejack asked.

"A boy." Gohan said.

"Well you sound girly!" Rainbow Dash said.

"That's not very nice, Rainbow Dash." Fluttershy said.

"But its true!" Rainbow Dash said.

Then, after long, painful moments of trying to burp, Spike burped out a letter.

"Whoa, Nellie!" Applejack said.

"A letter from the princess!" Twilight said.

Spike read out the letter, and pulled out 7 tickets to the Grand Galloping Gala.

"Now we can all go!" Twilight said.

"Alright, you can go. Can I read some books while your at it?" Gohan asked.

"No, you're coming too, Gohan!" Twilight said.

"B-But... Can I just give my ticket to him?" Gohan asked, pointing at Spike.

"Nah, I don't really want to go." Spike lied.

Gohan groaned. "I guess I'll take the ticket..." He said.

"Alright!" Twilight said.

Then, her stomach rumbled.

"Let us, treat you to dinner Twilight." Rarity said, trying to make up for her mistake.

"OOH! I'll get the cupcakes!" Pinkie Pie said.

The Mane 6 began to walk out of the Treehouse.

"You two are coming to eat with us!" Rarity said, pointing a hoof at Gohan and Spike.

"Well, I am hungry. I should warn you that... My appetite is really big." Gohan said.

"Don't worry. Nopony eats more than Pinkie Pie." Rarity said.

"Oh yeah? I challenge that!" Gohan said, running after the Mane 6.

Then, Spike burped up another ticket to the Gala.

He followed too.

***Hours Later***

Gohan was already at his 90th plate. He beat Pinkie Pie 65 plates ago.

Spike and the Mane 6 looked in shock as Gohan was eating nonstop.

Well, Pinkie was cheering him on.

"Go! Go! Go! Faster! This is amazing!" She said with glee.

"Uh... Gohan?" Applejack asked.

Gohan stopped eating for a moment. "Yaffsh?" He asked with his mouth full.

"Gohan, don't talk with your mouth full! That's rude!" Rarity scolded.

Gohan swallowed the spaghetti he was eating, finishing his 90th plate.

"Sorry, what is it?" Gohan asked, wiping his mouth with a napkin.

"Well, firstly I'd expect an adult such as yourself would have table manners already!" Rarity said.

"A-Adult?" Gohan asked. "I'm eleven, silly!" He added.

"WHAT!?" The Mane 6 asked.

"Oh no, I can't let you leave the cottage on your own until you're old enough!" Fluttershy said.

"Uh... Fluttershy, I don't know how he's gonna fare that way." Rainbow Dash said.

"Don't worry, I'll take good care of him." Fluttershy said.

"Yeah, but... How are you going to afford to feed him!?" Rainbow Dash asked.

"Oh... I don't know, I'll figure it out." Fluttershy said.

"He can come down to the farm for an apple or two anytime." Applejack said.

"Say you can eat clouds, too, Gohan." Goku said from Other World.

"I can eat clouds, too, I guess." Gohan said.

Spike and the Mane Six burst with laughter.

"Thanks dad." Gohan whispered.

"No problem, son!" Goku said.

Gohan's Life through Season 1 (Edited)

It's been quite a while since Gohan came to Ponyville.

Many of the denizens liked Gohan.

But many hated Gohan, he wasn't a gryphon or a pony.

It wasn't normal to them.

Gohan lived outside of Ponyville, actually. In a small shack.

Built by himself, mainly because he'd eat out the entire pantry of wherever he had lived.

He could've went to Sweet Apple Acres, but that wasn't a good option either.

Actually, he didn't even ask.

He just didn't want to repeat the mistake of eating everything.

He comes into Ponyville to see Twilight to discuss mathematics, or to read a book.

He also helps Applejack down at Sweet Apple Acres, plans a few parties with Pinkie Pie, and was part of the weather team with Rainbow Dash.

Despite not being a pegasus, he could still move clouds.

And, boy. Was it difficult for Rainbow Dash to get him in.

Some serious begging and testing.

***

In Mayor Mare's office...

Three individuals were.

Rainbow Dash, Mayor Mare and Gohan.

"I deny him a job on the weather team!" Mayor Mare said.

"But why!?" Rainbow Dash asked.

"He's not only flightless, but an overgrown monkey! It's absurd to even consider him for the job!" Mayor Mare said.

"Mayor Mare, if I may..." Gohan said.

"I can fly." He said.

To prove it, he jumped up and floated in mid-air.

He spun around the room.

Then, he stood on the ground again.

"I know I seem strange, but I swear, I won't be a nuisance." He said.

"Hmm... You seem to mean well... However, since you are no pony, I suppose I can let you join after testing..." Mayor Mare said.

"I'll do it!" Gohan said.

"If you are as Rainbow Dash says... Then this will be a tad dangerous. The town is running low on metals, but the mines are full of bats. That's why they're barren, as reports show attacks hospitalize ponies." Mayor Mare said.

"So you want me to get which minerals?" Gohan asked.

"It's not necessarily the minerals we seek, it's the removal of the bats. I know it sounds weird, but nopony's daring to go in there." Mayor Mare said.

"I guess I'll do it. Bats aren't much of a problem." Gohan said.

***

So, now Gohan and Rainbow Dash were outside the mine.

It happened to be inside the mountain harboring Canterlot.

Rainbow Dash wasn't going to go in, but Mayor Mare gave Gohan a helmet with a light.

Gohan just tossed that to the side.

"Good luck, Gohan. I know it's going to be difficult, but I bet you can do it!" Rainbow Dash said.

"Oh, I have the perfect plan." Gohan said.

"What is it?" Rainbow Dash asked.

"Well, I was going to use a cow, but I realized how useless that is and how cruel it is. So, from studying bats, I know something they really dislike." Gohan said.

"What?" Rainbow Dash asked.

"Artificial light. You might want to stay out of the way for a quick moment." Gohan said.

He dashed right into that hellhole of bats.

Rainbow Dash stepped to the side like she was told to.

She was just standing there, soon to be bored.

"What's taking him so long...?" She muttered.

Then she saw a bat flying out of the mine.

"Finally!" She said.

Then a few more came out...

Then...

There was a huge barrage of blasts flying straight out of the mine!

"What the...!?" Rainbow Dash asked, completely flabbergasted.

Bats were desperately flying out of the mine.

None were harmed, but were they desperate.

Eventually the bats and the blasts finally stopped.

Gohan slowly walked out with a smile.

"That was so cool! You got every one out!?" Rainbow Dash asked.

"Yep! Not a trace in there! But they were very hostile. They look like they're going to the Everfree Forest." Gohan said.

As it turns out, they were.

***

And that's how Gohan got the job.

He eventually had gotten enough money to buy more of his father's gis from Rarity.

Gohan spends a lot of his time training, alone.

Rainbow Dash tried sparring with Gohan once, but Gohan accidentally punched her into a rock and she went to the hospital.

Let's watch.

***

"Are you sure about this?" Gohan asked.

The two were in a field with a few rocks.

"Yep! I wanna see what ya got!" Rainbow Dash said.

"All right. Let's do this! Come at me!" Gohan said.

Rainbow Dash flew at Gohan in a flash!

She threw a very swift forehoof!

...Gohan dodged and punched her to the side.

He added a bit too much strength, and...

She smashed into a rock.

Gohan gasped and rushed to her.

"Rainbow! Are you okay!? I'm so sorry!" He said.

Apparently she's unconscious now.

"I need to get her to the hospital..." Gohan said, carrying her and flying quickly.

***

And that's how she landed in the hospital.

Usually, Gohan does 10,000 push ups and sit ups.

He also practiced his punches and kicks.

Occasionally, he fired a Kamehameha wave into the sky.

Sometimes, Gohan could be seen as a Super Saiyan in Ponyville in order to keep his stamina maxed.

This has led to some rude remarks from some of the townsfolk.

But that hasn't harmed Gohan badly, and he's fine.

Gohan has had his moments where he let his rage speak, rather than himself.

Such as the time when Trixie came.

***

"What are you? A monkey? The Great and Powerful Trixie shall turn you into a pony at once!" The 'Great and Powerful' Trixie exclaimed before shooting magic at Gohan.

"Like! I! Said!... I DONT CARE!" Gohan yelled, swatting the beam away and throwing a ki blast at Trixie.

Trixie dodged, and nearly got hit by the blast.

"How dare you attempt to strike the Great and Powerful Trixie!? The Great and Powerful Trixie has managed to defeat an Ursa Major with her powerful magic!" Trixie yelled.

Many ponies gasped.

"The Ursa Major is only a constellation! I prevented the entire Solar System from being destroyed, and I can increase my power hundreds of times over!" Gohan yelled.

"That's a load of hooey!" A pony yelled.

"Oh yeah!?" Gohan yelled.

Gohan made his Super Saiyan transformation extra dramatic by yelling, causing an earthquake, and turning his hair blond and black again multiple times.

Many ponies began to run away.

Trixie was standing still, despite being scared.

"That's enough!" A shy voice yelled.

Gohan went back into his base form as Fluttershy stopped his tiny assault.

"Gohan! Don't scare the other ponies away! Ignore her, I recommend you go home." Fluttershy said.

"Oh... Oh gosh, I'm so, so sorry Fluttershy... I didn't mean to-" "Don't worry, it's alright. You can lose it once in a while, you know?" Fluttershy interrupted.

"Y-Yeah... I'll see you around." Gohan said.

"You better run..." Trixie whispered.

***

There were moments where Gohan wanted to do something.

Like when Gilda, the gryphon came to town. She was even mean to Gohan!

***

Gohan was moving the clouds for the afternoon. It was scheduled to be cloudy, so he got quite a few.

Rainbow Dash and Gilda were racing, and having lots of fun.

Gohan watched them perform tricks and all, but he needed to use a few of the clouds they were using.

After Rainbow Dash finished her latest trick, Gohan approached the old school friends.

"Hey!" Gohan said, waving.

"Oh hey there, dude!" Rainbow Dash said, waving a hoof.

"Who's this... Thing?" Gilda asked.

"Oh, wait... I know what you are! I've read it in my textbooks before, I thought gryphons never existed!" Gohan said.

"Uh, Gohan? The Gryphon Kingdom exists?" Rainbow Dash said.

"What?... Oh, I'm sorry, I must have read it in my old home." Gohan said.

"Well, that's cool, 'dude'." Gilda said with a bit of anger.

"I'm Son Gohan, and who are you?" Gohan asked.

"The name's Gilda." Gilda said.

"I have to go do some weather duties, so catch you later, Gilda!" Rainbow Dash said, flying away.

"See ya, Dash." Gilda said.

"Alright then. I'm sorry to ask, but I'm gonna need a few of these clouds, is that alright?" Gohan asked.

"Beat it, weirdo." Gilda said.

"B-But... Can I just please take one?" Gohan asked, holding up a finger.

"I said beat it! Buzz off, you... Thing. Trying to use all of these clouds here." Gilda said, hugging the clouds closely.

"For what?" Gohan asked.

"Just get out of here before I pound you, smarty!" Gilda said, holding up a fist.

Gohan tried restraining his anger, this 'Gilda' wasn't making it easy.

Gohan sighed. "Fine. See you around, Gilda." He said before flying away quickly.

***

Like when the dragon snored smoke all over Ponyville, and he was ready to beat it up. But, he didn't do it.

***

The few leaves merely touched Fluttershy, yet she screamed.

"AVALANCHE!" She screamed.

The Mane 6 were running everywhere, trying to avoid the falling rocks.

Gohan threw many ki blasts to destroy the falling rocks and boulders.

It wasn't enough, though.

All of his friends could escape the carnage, but Gohan was engulfed by the avalanche.

After it stopped, the Mane 6 was looking all over for Gohan.

"Do you think he's...?" Applejack asked.

"N-No way, he's probably pulling a prank on us!" Rainbow Dash said.

During this, a faint yell could be heard. It grew louder in volume as time went by.

"Is the dragon waking up?" Pinkie Pie asked.

"Why do y- Actually, I hear something." Twilight said.

Fluttershy hid behind a bush.

Gohan burst through the remains of the avalanche.

"Oh my, you're still alive and well!" Rarity said.

"Yeah, I'm alright!" Gohan said.

"But it appears your clothes have a few cuts." Rarity said, pointing a hoof at Gohan's ripped gi.

"It's alright. I could get it fixed later!" Gohan said.

"Yes, come by later. Now, onward!" Rarity said.

Everyone made it to the cave where the dragon slept.

Twilight tried to persuade the dragon into leaving, Rarity tried using her charm, and Pinkie Pie did... Whatever she did.

Rainbow Dash angered the dragon greatly, and she was sent flying at her friends from a yell.

The rest of the Mane 6, except for Fluttershy fell.

Gohan flew up to the dragon, and was about to attack.

"No Gohan!" Goku yelled from Other World.

Gohan stopped in his tracks and flew back a little.

"Dad?" He asked.

"Don't fight, there's a different solution!" Goku said.

"W-What is it?" Gohan asked.

"You should look behind you." Goku said.

Gohan turned around to see Fluttershy with an angry face.

"HOW DARE YOU!?" She yelled at the dragon.

Gohan flew down, and rushed to the rest of the Mane 6.

After a lengthy talk to the dragon from Fluttershy, he burst into tears.

***

There were times when he shined. Well, temporarily. Like when the Ursa Minor, then the Ursa Major came.

***

It was nighttime.

Snips and Snails summoned an Ursa Minor, but it was considered to be an Ursa Major.

All of the ponies in Ponyville were running and panicking.

Twilight managed to give the Ursa Minor milk, and to get it back in the cave it came from.

Everyone was cheering for Twilight, who thought she had bragged.

However, she didn't calm the Ursa Minor's mother, the Ursa Major.

Gohan felt it's presence incoming.

"Uh... Guys? I think we have a bigger problem than a cub." Gohan said.

"Now what are y- Oh my apples." Applejack said.

The Ursa Major, nearly ten times the size of the Ursa Minor, was ready to destroy Ponyville.

Twilight attempted to calm it, but her magic was far to weak to handle it.

"Oh no! That thing's going to destroy Ponyville!" Rainbow Dash said.

"Not on my watch!" Gohan yelled.

Gohan flew up to the Ursa Major, and punched it from side to side multiple times.

"T-That one's insane!" Mayor Mare exclaimed.

Gohan uppercutted the Ursa Major, launching it into the air.

He quickly flew behind it, cupping his hands together and performing a double axe handle.

The Ursa Major was falling to the ground.

Gohan didn't stop there, he quickly went back to the ground, moments before the Ursa Major would touch the ground.

He cupped his hands together by his side.

"It's time to put you back where you belong! Kamehameha!" Gohan yelled, unleashing the Kamehameha wave on the Ursa Major.

The Ursa Major was blasted away into outer space.

Gohan stopped the beam.

There was only silence.

Nopony cheered.

They all just looked in shock.

Gohan looked to the Mane 6.

"A-Are you guys alright?" He asked.

***

There's a lot more, but his father and his friends stopped him from acting in most of those times.

There are also times when Gohan didn't do what was expected of him. Not that he acted out of turn, but he wasn't like other ponies.

Like the first time he saw Zecora.

***

Everyone in Ponyville was inside. It was all strange, why is that?

Twilight and Spike were outside as usual, but noticed that no one was outside, at all.

Well, except for Gohan.

Gohan saw that the shops were closed.

'Strange...' He thought to himself.

'Why is everyone indoors today?' He thought.

Twilight and Spike were just pulled into Sugarcube Corner.

Gohan witnessed that. But he could sense another being in town.

There was a zebra, just digging. It stared at Gohan with mean eyes.

Gohan stared the zebra down.

Applejack's little sister, Applebloom was lurking around.

The zebra walked back to the Everfree Forest after quite the staring contest.

Applebloom followed.

Gohan stood there, confused as to what just happened. He had a staring contest with a zebra, and he won because it just walked away.

The Mane 6 rushed out of Sugarcube Corner.

"Gohan, lad! Have y'all seen Applebloom?" Applejack asked.

"Uh, no. I haven't. I just stared at a zebra for some random reason." Gohan said.

"That zebra is Zecora, and she may have taken my sister Applebloom! Lets giddy up to the Everfree Forest!" Applejack said.

"U-Uh... Alright..." Gohan said, following the Mane 6.

"Why didn't you run away from the spooky, scary and evil Zecora?" Pinkie Pie asked.

"For the last time, Pinkie, Zecora is probably not evil!" Twilight said.

"Uh... Yeah, Zecora was just staring." Gohan said.

***

Gohan has had a fun, saddening, and silencing time. Now, let's see where he is now!

The Grand Galloping Gala

Gohan was setting a cloud to be in some spot, and overheard Twilight and Pinkie Pie having a conversation beside Rarity's Boutique.

"THE GRAND GALLOPING GALA IS TONIGHT!" Pinkie Pie exclaimed, jumping up and down on a trampoline.

"Pinkie, please stop shouting! I'm trying to focus." Twilight said.

Gohan flew over to them. "Hey!" He said.

"Oh hey, Gohan." Twilight said.

"Hi Gohany han!" Pinkie Pie said.

Rarity suddenly opened the door of her boutique.

"Pinkie Pie, please stop jumping! I must make the dresses for the Gala, and I refuse to make a dress for you while you're all sweaty!" Rarity said.

Pinkie Pie stopped jumping and stood on the ground.

Twilight was working on a spell for the Grand Galloping Gala.

"The others are very late!" Rarity said.

"Hold your horses, now. We're here." Applejack said, walking alongside Fluttershy and Rainbow Dash.

"Perfect, I'm ready!" Twilight said.

"For what?" Rainbow Dash asked.

"Alright, Spike." Twilight said.

Spike brought an apple, and set it on the ground.

"An apple! Are we having pie?" Pinkie Pie asked.

Spike silenced Pinkie Pie with a hush.

Twilight used her magic to turn the apple into a big carriage! Big enough to hold the eight.

Everyone complimented Twilight's work.

"Nice job!" Everyone said.

"Thanks! But that's just the start. Fluttershy, did you bring your friends?" Twilight asked.

"Oh yes, but will they be safe?" Fluttershy asked, lowering her head to set her pet mice on the ground.

They were burrowed in her mane.

"You have my word." Twilight said.

"We'll keep Twilight in check for ya, Fluttershy." Applejack said.

Twilight used her magic to turn the mice into full grown horses!

"So that's the difference between and pony and a horse... This place makes no sense." Gohan commented.

The rest of the Mane 6 were confused.

Opal, Rarity's cat, seized the moment, and scratched one of the horse mice.

The horse mice all ran away.

"Oh no! Those horses were supposed to carry the carriage! How will we get to the Gala?" Twilight asked.

"Oh, whatever shall we do?" Rarity asked.

"I'll pull the carriage..." Gohan said.

"No, we shouldn't let a child do that." Twilight said.

"B-But I can shoot bears back into space... And I can do it!" Gohan said.

A clump of dirt was thrown at Gohan from a colt.

"Hey!" Gohan said.

"Sorry, I was doing the right thing, trying to scare monsters away from my filly." The colt said.

Gohan used his ki to get the mud off of him.

"How dare you assault our little Gohan here! He's only a child!" Rarity said.

"Whoa, whoa! How is that towering creature only a kid?" The colt asked.

"That thing's a monster!" The colt's filly said.

"I'm not a pony. I think you get the idea, now please leave." Gohan said.

"No Gohan, the colt should be an adult and apologize to you." Rarity said.

"No... It's alright. Now you can leave, mister." Gohan said.

"Weirdo..." The colt said as he trotted away with his filly.

"I'm gonna ignore the fact that that just happened." Twilight said.

"Anyway, what can we do for the carriage?" Applejack asked.

"Like I said, I'll do it." Gohan said.

"Are you sure you can handle it?" Applejack asked.

"Allow me to demonstrate in a nerdy manner, heh." Gohan chuckled.

He picked the carriage up with one hand.

"Considering I can lift this heavy object with ease, I believe I have the strength to pull this carriage at a mediocre pace, even with all of you in it." Gohan said.

"That was... Too much like Twilight." Rainbow Dash said.

Gohan floated above the ground. "If I hold something and I am flying, what happens to the action?" He asked.

"You would need twice the amount of strength to hold something." Twilight said.

"Correct. And considering I can do that and," Gohan said, chucking the carriage away.

The Mane 6 and Spike all gasped.

Gohan appeared in front of it, catching it again and flying back to the Mane 6.

"Throw this with ease, I believe I have more than enough strength to pull this carriage! Also I can just go Super Saiyan to make it even less of a weight." Gohan said, setting the carriage down.

"Well, shoot. Guess Gohan's gonna pull the carriage." Applejack said.

"I still don't get you, Gohan." Rainbow Dash said.

"Why's that, Rainbow Dash?" Twilight asked.

"I don't know, he's such a nerd, yet he has so much coolness! I've never met such a hybrid!" Rainbow Dash said.

"I-I guess it's just luck... Heheh." Gohan chuckled.

"Anyhow, everypony! I shall make dresses and tuxedoes for you all!" Rarity said.

Everyone entered the boutique.

The Mane 6 were all straightening their hair in a separate room.

Spike and Gohan were outside.

Gohan didn't, in fact, his hair hadn't changed a single bit since he was in Equestria.

"You say it used to grow, Gohan?" Rarity asked.

"Yeah, but I don't know why it just stopped all of a sudden." Gohan said on the other side of a door.

"Your mane hasn't changed its style nor it's length, you should be fine, dear." Rarity said.

Spike was knocking on the door. "Come on! Let me in, guys!" He said.

"No! You mustn't! We're dressing!" Rarity said.

"Uh, Rarity, we don't normally wear clothes." Applejack said.

"Except for the other nerd." Rainbow Dash said.

Gohan laughed.

"Fine." Rarity said, opening the door with her magic.

"I'm sorry Spike, some of us do have standards." Rarity said.

"I still can't believe we're going to be at Canterlot tonight!" Spike said as he walked around the boutique. "Our home town, Twilight! The best part is, we'll be together all night long!" He added.

'Good... I have some protection in case I'm judged...' Gohan thought as he walked into the same room.

"I don't know, Spike." Rainbow Dash said.

'Oh, man.' Gohan thought.

Rarity put an eyelash on her face. "We'll just have to see." She said.

Applejack scrubbed Fluttershy's hoof, then spat on it. "We're gonna be a might, busy." She said.

Pinkie Pie's hair was straightened. "Busy having fun!" Pinkie Pie said, before her hair poofed out again.

"Oh... Okay." Spike said, putting on a frown.

"Don't worry, Spike. I can hang around you." Gohan said with a reassuring smile.

"Thanks, Gohan." Spike said, a frown turned into a smile.

"Don't worry, you two. We'll all get to spend time together." Twilight said, applying some makeup.

"Great!" Spike exclaimed.

"Hey Rarity, I have a design of clothing to ask for." Gohan said.

"Here's the paper and pencil, draw away, darling." Rarity said, giving Gohan the tools.

Gohan drew a picture of a familiar shirt and pants he wore on his eleventh birthday. He handed the paper to Rarity.

"My, my! I haven't seen anything like this. What is this, Gohan?" Rarity asked.

"It's considered formal where I come from... I wore it for my eleventh birthday." Gohan said.

"Well, I shall make this for you. Your culture is very interesting, Gohan." Rarity said.

Gohan chuckled.

Later, everyone was ready to go.

Gohan was sporting his drawn picture. In fact, he went Super Saiyan to top it all off.

https://t00.deviantart.net/Cd3AqpNkMVGG09Wav8m2_7okeiw=/fit-in/700x350/filters:fixed_height(100,100):origin()/pre00/da5b/th/pre/f/2016/366/e/1/gohan_by_tch023-datos61.png

"Gohan, are you sure you want your mane to be so blond?" Fluttershy asked.

"It brings back quite the memories, and I'm fine with the hair color. It's a Super Saiyan, after all. I can change it back whenever I want." Gohan said.

"That sounds like a lovely ability, changing the color of your mane..." Fluttershy said.

"It's not as peachy as you think." Gohan said.

The Mane 6 all entered the carriage.

Spike wore a tuxedo, and the Mane 6 all had dresses.

Spike was outside the carriage.

Gohan already began to pull the carriage. Really, he barely used any strength.

"Oh, I've got to show Rarity around! I'll show her the gems, and all that stuff!" Spike said.

"Sounds like a plan, Spike." Gohan said.

Inside the carriage, the Mane 6 were chatting.

"Let's go then!" Spike said. "Faster!" He said.

"How much faster do you want me to go, anyway?" Gohan asked.

"I dunno... Fast, but reasonable I guess." Spike said.

"Alright." Gohan said, picking up the speed.

"Being so slow before was really a challenge, but this is a little less of a challenge. Heh." He chuckled.

Eventually, they arrived in Canterlot.

Spike opened the carriage door for the Mane 6, and bowed to them respectively.

Gohan quickly followed.

"Whoa!" Spike said. "You all look amazing!" He said.

"Didn't you see them before they entered the carriage?" Gohan asked.

"N-No, I was kind of focused on your Super Saiyan thingy." Spike said.

"Okay, but I guess they do look amazing." Gohan said.

Spike jumped on Gohan's shoulder and leaned in to his ear. "You're not crushing on any one of them, are you?" He asked.

"Uh, no. Why?" Gohan asked.

"Just wondering. I thought you were crushing on one of them, that's all." Spike said.

"I'm not a pony so I'd rather not." Gohan said.

Spike giggled.

"Yeah, I guess." He said.

"I can't believe we're at the Gala!" Twilight said, further explaining the place.

"This will be the best night ever!" She said, with fireworks going off.

"At the Gala!" The Mane 6 sang.

"At the Gala! In the garden! I'm going to see them all!" Fluttershy sang.

"All the creatures, I'll befriend them, at the Gala! All the birdies, and the critters, they will love me big and small! We'll become good friends forever, right here, At The Gala!" Fluttershy sang.

"All our dreams will come true, right here at the Gala! At the Gala!" The choir sang.

"At the Gala! I will sell them, all my appletastic treats!" Applejack sang.

"The hungry ponies, they will buy them, caramel apples, apple sweets! And then earn a lot of money, for the Apple family!" Applejack sang.

"All our dreams and our hopes from now until here after. All that we've been wishing for will happen at the Gala! At the Gala!" The choir sang.

"At the Gala! All the royals, they will meet fair Rarity!" Rarity sang.

"They will see, I'm just as regal at the Gala! I will find him, my Prince Charming, and how gallant he will be! He will treat me like a lady, tonight! At the Gala!" Rarity sang.

"This is what we've been waiting for, to have the best night ever! Each of us will live our dreams, tonight! At the Gala! At the Gala!" The choir sang.

"Been dreaming, I've been waiting! To fly with those great ponies!" Rainbow Dash sang.

"The Wonderbolts, their daring tricks, spinning 'round and having kicks! Perform for crowds of thousands! They'll shower us with diamonds! The Wonderbolts will see me right here! At the Gala!" Rainbow Dash sang.

"I'm here, at the Grand Gala! For it is the best party!" Pinkie Pie sang.

"But the one thing, it was missing, was a pony named Pinkie! For I am the best at parties! All the ponies will agree, ponies playing, ponies dancing with me! At the Gala!" Pinkie Pie sang.

"Happiness and laughter! At the Gala!" The choir sang.

Then, the song was shifted to Gohan.

"U-Uh... At the G-Gala! I will... Um... Be with my friends?" Gohan sang with an awkward smile.

The choir skipped Gohan's terrible and unprepared verse.

"At the Gala, with the princess, is where I'm going to be!" Twilight sang.

"We will talk all about magic, and what I've learned and seen! It is going to be so special, as she takes time, just for me!" Twilight sang.

"This will be the best night ever!" The choir sang.

The bridge was laid down, and the ponies crossed it.

"Into the Gala we must go!" The choir sang.

"We're ready now, we're all a glow! Into the Gala, let's go in! And have the best night ever! Into the Gala, now's the time! We're ready and we look divine! Into the Gala!" The choir sang.

"Into the Gala," The choir sang.

"Meet new friends," Fluttershy sang.

"Into the Gala," The choir sang.

"Sell some apples," Applejack sang.

"Into the Gala," The choir sang.

"Find my prince," Rarity sang.

"Prove I'm great," The choir sang.

"As a Wonderbolt is!" Rainbow Dash sang.

"To meet!" Fluttershy sang.

"To sell!" Applejack sang.

"To find!" Rarity sang.

"To prove!" Rainbow Dash sang.

"To woo!" Pinkie Pie sang.

"To talk!" Twilight sang.

"Into the Gala!" The ponies sang.

"Into the Gala! And we'll have the best night ever, At the Gala!!" The ponies sang.

Then, they finished up the lovely song.

Gohan clapped. He also gave a 'I did not expect that' smile.

Spike, Gohan, and the Mane 6 entered the Grand Galloping Gala.

"This is going to be the best night ever! Because we're all going to spend it to-" Spike said before the Mane 6 trailed off into 6 different directions.

"Oh." Spike said.

"I'm still here...?" Gohan said.

"At least I have one friend to spend it together with." Spike said.

"L-Let's just enter that thing..." Gohan said, pointing at a hall.

"Yeah." Spike said.

As soon as Spike and Gohan entered, they saw Twilight chatting with Celestia, a bunch of other ponies, and Rarity chasing certain Prince Blueblood.

However, Gohan was being stared at.

All conversations stopped.

"What is that thing?" A pony called.

"That is one of the many friends of my faithful student, Twilight Sparkle." Celestia called.

"His name is Son Gohan. He is just as any other pony here. Please treat each other with respect." She added.

"N-Nice to meet you all..." Gohan waved.

The ponies went back to their business.

"Anyway, what should we do now?" Gohan asked Spike.

"I dunno." Spike said.

"The only thing I can think of is carrying you and flying all over the place." Gohan said.

"That... Actually sounds like a lot of fun!" Spike said.

"So we'll do it?" Gohan asked with a smile.

"Hay yeah!" Spike said.

Gohan picked Spike up and put him on his back. "Just tell me when I'm a little too fast." He said, flying to the outside part of the Gala.

The Mane 6 were not having 'the best night' of their lives.

Fluttershy wasn't making any animal friends, she was only scaring them! She was going a little insane and was trying to trap them.

Rarity did not like how Prince Blueblood was acting. He was so spoiled that he took Rarity's rose. She wasn't hanging around the most charming pony, she was hanging around a brat!

Pinkie Pie was trying to party as she usually does, but the Gala was a formal party, not a... Pinkie party. Sadly.

Applejack wasn't selling anything other than that one apple pie. She wasn't turning up a huge profit like she thought.

Rainbow Dash, who seemingly interested the Wonderbolts, received an invitation to 'hang out' with Spitfire and the Wonderbolts. She wasn't even talking to them, despite her best efforts.

Twilight wasn't talking to Celestia about what had happened since they last met, and wasn't too happy. Celestia was too busy greeting ponies.

However, Gohan and Spike were having a blast flying around Canterlot.

Gohan did receive a bit of bad feedback, but he didn't care.

He was having fun, so it didn't matter to him.

"Oh! I have an idea!" Gohan said, stopping in midair.

"What is it?" Spike asked.

Gohan threw many ki blasts into the air, and made them explode each other. It was a decent fireworks show.

"Wow! How can you fly without wings, and how can you use magic without a horn!?" Spike exclaimed.

Gohan chuckled. "I'm not using magic. Heheh!" He said.

"Well what is it? It's so cool!" Spike said.

"Ki. It's cool, I guess!" Gohan said.

"Is that what you used against that Ursa Major?" Spike asked.

"Y-Yeah... I like doing epic things like that, but I really dislike the attention it gives me." Gohan said.

"That's strange." Spike said.

"How so?" Gohan asked.

"Rainbow Dash does awesome stuff all the time, and brags as much as she can. But you tend to hate the attention! She was right, you are a weird hybrid!" Spike chuckled.

Gohan laughed. "I suppose it's pure luck." He said.

"That's what you said before!" Spike said, laughing.

Gohan laughed too.

"Should we check on the others now?" Gohan asked, still circling Canterlot.

"Nah. Maybe they're having the best night of their lives!" Spike said.

"Kind of like we are, right?" Gohan said, raising a fist up to Spike.

"You bet!" Spike said, fist bumping Gohan.

"Where to?" Gohan asked.

"I know a great place for donuts and other treats." Spike said.

"Point me in the direction!" Gohan said.

Gohan headed for Joe's shop.

They entered, and they were greeted by Joe.

"Spike, hello! It's been a while!" Joe said.

"Hey Joe!" Spike said.

"And who's your friend?" Joe asked.

"I'm Son Gohan. Nice to meet you sir." Gohan said, bowing his head.

"You've got quite the manners there, Son Gohan." Joe said with a smile.

"Really?... Thanks." Gohan said.

Gohan had a simple glass of water and a plain donut.

Spike, on the other hand, had a donut with extra sprinkles and hot cocoa with a marshmallow in it.

"I see a very noticeable difference between you two." Joe said.

"Really?" Gohan asked.

"Yeah, I don't know you, and I know you, Spike." Joe said.

Gohan chuckled. "Yeah..." he said.

The doors to Joe's shop swung open. The Mane 6 were there.

"Well, look who it is! Twilight Sparkle! Long time no see!" Joe said.

Spike quickly ran over to them. "How was the Gala?" He asked.

Gohan stayed in his seat.

The Mane 6 told their stories of how the 'best night ever' turned into the worst night ever.

"Well, Gohan and I had a blast! We flew all around the Gala!" Spike exclaimed.

"Good for you, Spike!" Twilight said, giving a smile.

"Well, somepony had fun!" Applejack said.

"Yeah!... I just hope Princess Celestia will forgive us for ruining the Gala..." Twilight said.

"That was the best Grand Galloping Gala ever!" Celestia said, happening to be at the entrance.

"Princess Celestia!" Everyone except Gohan said.

Celestia walked over to Twilight.

"Pardon me, Princess, but tonight was just awful!" Twilight said.

"The Grand Galloping Gala is always awful, that was why I was so happy you were all attending! I knew you guys would lighten things up a bit!" Celestia said.

"And while the evening didn't go as planned, you made it all better. Also, someone did have a fine time." She added.

Everyone looked at Spike, then Gohan.

"H-Hello again, Princess..." Gohan said with a wave.

"You look marvelous in that, Gohan." Celestia said.

"Thanks!" Gohan said, resuming his small treat.

"I wonder, who provided the extra fireworks show?" Celestia asked.

"Oh that was Gohan!" Spike exclaimed.

"I-I'd rather you guys not tell anyone about it, okay?" Gohan said with an awkward laugh.

"I will keep it a secret." Celestia said.

"I guess you're right! Friends somehow make a terrible moment all better!" Twilight said.

"Yeah! Just hanging out with your friends!" Rainbow Dash said.

"Talking!" Fluttershy said.

"Laughing!" Pinkie Pie said.

"You mean doing what Gohan and I did the whole time?" Spike said.

"Yes, Spike." Twilight said.

"Tonight wasn't a good night." Applejack said.

"But now it's coming to a happy end!" Rarity said.

"This has turned into..." Pinkie Pie said.

"The best night ever!" The Mane 6 said.

Everyone giggled and laughed a little bit.

"A-Alright everyone... As soon as you want to leave, please tell me!" Gohan said.

"Okey dokey lokey!" Pinkie Pie said.

Discord's Return Pt. 1 (Edited Heavily)

It was another day in Equestria.

The children at the Ponyville school went to Canterlot for a field trip.

"I want to start our field trip here, in the world famous Canterlot sculpture garden!" Cheerilee said happily.

"That one over there represents friendship." She said, pointing to a statue of three ponies jumping.

Well, three fillies in the class, Scootaloo, Applebloom and Sweetie Belle all knocked into each other, angering each other.

"All right, my little ponies, this one represents victory." Cheerilee said, ending that somehow.

She also pointed to a pony holding a flag.

"How cool would it be to have THAT for a cutie mark?" Scootaloo asked excitedly.

"Cool!" Applebloom said sarcastically.

"If you were actually victoryful at something." She said, infuriating Scootaloo.

"That's not a word!" Sweetie Belle said.

"What are you, a dictionary?" Scootaloo asked.

"Girls!" Cheerilee scolded, ending the argument.

The three fillies rushed to her and the rest of the class in front of a statue of Discord.

"Now THIS is a really interesting statue. What do you notice about it?" Cheerilee asked.

"It's got an eagle claw!" Applebloom said.

"And a lion paw!" Scootaloo said.

"And a snake tail!" Sweetie Belle said.

"This creature is called a draconequus. He has the head of a pony and a body made up of all sorts of things. What do you suppose that represents?" Cheerilee asked.

"Confusion!" Applebloom said.

Then Sweetie Belle shoved her away.

"Evil!" She said.

Then Scootaloo shoved her away.

"Chaos!" She said.

"It's not chaos, you dodo!" Sweetie Belle yelled.

"Don't call me things I don't know the meaning of, and it is TOO chaos!" Scootaloo yelled.

You can see where this is going.

"Is not!" Sweetie Belle yelled.

"You're both wrong!" Applebloom yelled, jumping on top of their heads.

Oh shit.

They all got into a brawl.

The statue had a black shimmer of light for a moment...

Cheerilee facehoofed, but she put on a smile.

"Actually, in a way, you're all right." Cheerilee said.

That ended the brawl.

"This statue represents "Discord", which means a lack of harmony between ponies. In fact, you three have demonstrated discord so well that you're each going to write me an essay explaining it." She said.

That got them some laughter from their class.

"Now, let's go. And I don't want any more fighting." Cheerilee said, walking away, leading the fillies.

"Confusion!" Applebloom said.

"Evil!" Sweetie Belle said.

"Chaos!" Scootaloo said.

The actions of the Cutie Mark Crusaders, Scootaloo, Applebloom and Sweetie Belle seemingly awakened Discord.

The statue cracked...

***

Rainbow Dash was soaring through the skies, but suddenly, she was hit by a flying... Pink cloud?

"Hey! Come back here, you!" Rainbow Dash yelled, charging at the pink cloud.

Upon catching the cloud, Rainbow Dash discovers sit was flying cotton candy.

As it turns out, they were flying everywhere!

Then, a cotton candy cloud above Rainbow Dash rained one drop of... Something brown.

"Hey! It's not supposed to rain until tomorrow! You can't just-" Rainbow Dash said before being rained on with... chocolate milk.

"You just did." She said, admitting defeat.

Down at Sweet Apple Acres, Applejack was picking the crops.

At the moment, she was picking corn.

Rainbow Dash was soaring around, trying to catch the cotton candy clouds. "GET BACK HERE!" She yelled.

"Rainbow Dash, why is it raining? I mean, chocolate milk? I mean, chocolate milk rain!?" Applejack asked.

Rainbow Dash flew to Applejack.

"There's crazy weather all over Equestria! Cloudsdale is getting soaked by a major total storm right now! But don't worry, I'm not leaving you until I get control of Ponyville!" Rainbow Dash exclaimed before flying away.

Then, popcorn started to appear.

Applejack was engulfed by the absurd amount of popcorn.

Pinkie Pie, nearby, was hopping and jumping into all the popcorn.

"Why would you want to get rid of this?" She asked, licking the chocolate milk.

Rarity was nearby, walking with a dress and a huge umbrella. She walked to Applejack, who just found her way out of the popcorn.

"Applejack, I saw how bad things were happening and I came by to see how I can help! Without getting wet. Or dirty, or anything under my umbrella." Rarity said.

Then, the apples on the trees grew many sizes.

They were weighing the trees down, so much so that they bent.

A tiny critter jumped on to it and took a huge bite out of one.

So did many of Fluttershy's other animals.

"Fluttershy! Get them critters to stop!" Applejack exclaimed.

Angel, Fluttershy's bunny was eating one of the apples.

"Now Angel, you should be ea-" Fluttershy said, before Angel and the other bunnies grew massive horse legs.

"NO! It's not possible, I must be seeing things!" Fluttershy said.

Twilight was nearby, investigating the weird occurrences.

"Don't worry everyone! I've got a new spell that will fix everything!" She exclaimed.

Twilight used her magic to perform a spell, but it changed nothing.

"What! The fail safe spell didn't work! What do we do!?" She asked.

"Uh, give up?" Spike asked.

"Spike, Twilight will come up with something." Rarity said, using her magic to give Twilight her umbrella.

"Plan B. Rainbow Dash! Can you put all the clouds into one corner of the sky?" Twilight asked.

Rainbow Dash cleared herself of cotton candy and saluted. She instantly got every cloud together to form one big cloud.

"Applejack, I need you to get those clouds down to earth!" Twilight said.

Applejack used her rope to pull the clouds down.

This caused the clouds to stop raining.

"Hey! Why'd you do that?" Pinkie Pie said, who was drinking all of the chocolate milk.

Twilight whispered something to Fluttershy.

"Oh dear! I hope none of the animals see these delicious, filled cotton candy clouds! I hope none of them take some!" Fluttershy said.

Every one of the animals noticed, and began to chow down on it.

"Hey! This is mine!" Pinkie Pie exclaimed, eating it too.

"When y'all are done, feel free to have some popcorn after your dessert!" Applejack said.

"You see, Spike? You should never give up! There's nothing we can't overcome if we work together!" Twilight said.

Gohan was nearby, sitting in the air.

His back was facing our group,

He was eating cotton candy!

With his bare hands!

Since it's all over the damn place, he had himself some breakfast.

"...Was he there the whole time?" Twilight asked.

"I think." Rainbow Dash said.

"Gohan!" Applejack called.

Gohan looked over his shoulder to see the group.

"Hey!" He said, waving a hand.

The Mane 6 expected him to come down, so they kept looking at him.

"What?" Gohan asked.

Then he thought of something.

"Look, I know cotton candy isn't healthy for me, especially in the morning, but-" "GET DOWN HERE ALREADY!" Rainbow Dash interrupted.

"Oh." Gohan said, tossing his treat into the already big pile.

He flew down to our group.

In that moment, Spike burped a message out.

Twilight opened it, and read it.

She gasped. "Come on, girls! Princess Celestia wants to see all of us in Canterlot, Immediately!" She said.

"And... Well, it says that we could bring Gohan..." She added.

"If she really needs you all immediately, then I'd like to know what's happening too." Gohan said.

***

In Canterlot, Celestia was panicking.

The doors burst open.

"Princess Celestia!" Twilight called.

The Mane 6 and Gohan came in.

"We came as fast as we could!" Twilight said.

"Thank you, Twilight. Thank you all." Celestia said.

"Is this about the crazy weather? And the animal's behavior? What's happening out there!? Why isn't my magic working? And wh-" Twilight said before Celestia motioned for her to be silent.

"Follow me." Celestia said, trotting towards a hall.

The Mane 6 and Gohan followed.

"I've called you here for a matter of great importance. It seems an old foe of mine someone I thought I defeated long ago has returned." Celestia said.

"His name... Is Discord." Celestia said.

"Oh I know what that means! It means disagreement between people." Gohan said.

"Yes. Discord is the mischievous spirit of disharmony. Before my sister and I stood up to him, he ruled Equestria in an eternal state of unrest, and unhappiness. Luna and I saw how miserable it was for earth ponies, pegasi and unicorns alike! So after discovering the Elements of Harmony, we combined our powers, and rose up against him! Turning him to stone!" Celestia said.

"Alright Princess!" Rainbow Dash said.

"I thought the spell we cast would keep him contained forever. But since Luna and I are no longer connected to the Elements, the spell has been broken!" Celestia said.

"No longer connected?" Twilight asked.

"This, is Canterlot Tower. The Elements are kept inside, since all of you recovered them." Celestia said, showing to them Canterlot Tower.

"I have a question." Gohan said.

"Go on." Celestia said.

"Can I have a go against Discord?" Gohan asked.

"I'm not sure... I believe it would be wise to leave this to them, Son Gohan." Celestia said.

"Okay." Gohan said.

"I need you to wield the Elements of Harmony once again! And stop Discord! Before he thrusts Equestria into eternal chaos!" Celestia said.

"But why us? Why don't you-" Twilight said, before

"Hey look! We're famous!" Pinkie Pie said, referring to a window with the Mane 6 and Gohan taking down Nightmare Moon with their combined attacks.

"You six show the full potential for all of the Elements! By harnessing the magic of your friendship, and the power of ki, to defeat your mighty foe!" Celestia said.

"Although Luna and I once controlled the Elements, it is you now controls their power, and it is you who must defeat Discord!" Celestia said.

"You can count on us, Princess Celestia!" Twilight said.

"Hold on a second! Eternal chaos, comes with chocolate rain you guys! CHOCOLATE RAIN!" Pinkie Pie exclaimed.

"Pinkie, chocolate rain doesn't justify all the chaos happening." Gohan said.

"Don't listen to her, Princess. We'd be honored to used the Elements of Harmony again!" Twilight said.

Celestia used her horn to unlock the door to the Elements of Harmony.

There was a magnificent chest behind the door, containing the Elements.

"If we keep the Elements, I'll take that case!" Rarity said.

"Have no fear, ponies. I have total confidence that you will be able to defeat Discord!" Celestia said, using her magic to give to the chest to the Mane 6.

She opened it, and...

The Elements of Harmony were missing!

Celestia and all of the Mane 6 stared at the empty box in disbelief.

"Uh oh..." Gohan said.

"Oh well! If anyone needs me, I'll be outside in the chocolate puddles with a GIANT swizzle straw!" Pinkie Pie said, trotting away, but instantly returning.

"The Elements! They're gone!" Twilight exclaimed.

"That chamber is protected by a spell only I can cast! This doesn't make sense!" Celestia said.

An evil laugh could be heard.

"Make sense?" A voice called. "What fun is there in making sense?" It said.

"Guys, I can sense a pretty huge power." Gohan said.

"Discord! Show yourself!" Celestia yelled.

There was a laugh by Discord. "Did you miss me, Celestia?" He said.

Discord took the form of himself in the stained glass. "I've missed you." It said.

The Discord art flew into another stained glass. One that represented the Mane 6 and the Elements of Harmony.

"It's quite ugly, being encased in stone but you wouldn't know that, would you? Because I don't turn ponies into stone!" He said, knocking on the glass from inside the art.

"Enough! What have you done with the Elements of Harmony!?" Celestia asked.

"Oh, I just borrowed them for a teensy little while." He said, making the art for the Elements of Harmony disappear.

"You'll never get away with this, Discord!" Celestia said.

"Oh I've forgotten how grim you can be, Celestia. You've made Equestria quite, BORING." Discord said.

"Hey! Nopony insults the Princess!" Rainbow Dash exclaimed, flying at the glass.

Gohan stopped her by appearing in front of the glass. "Stop! You'll do nothing but destroy the glass!" He said.

"Oh! That must be Rainbow Dash! Famed for wielding the Element of Harmony you represent." Discord said.

"That's right! And I'll always be loyal to the princess!" Rainbow Dash exclaimed.

Discord disappeared. "We'll see about that." He said.

"I cannot believe we're wasting our time talking to a tacky window." Rarity said.

Discord appeared in the window behind Rarity. "The beautiful Rarity, representing the Element of Generosity, if I'm not mistaken." He said.

"So you know who we are, big deal." Applejack said.

Discord's art grew in size. "Oh I know much more than that, honest Applejack." He said.

"And you seem to know our strengths, too!" Twilight exclaimed.

Discord's art appeared in a different glass now. "Oh yes, Twilight Sparkle. And yours in the most powerful Element, Magic." He said.

"Fluttershy's is kindness and Pinkie Pie's is the most favorite of mine, laughter.

Pinkie Pie was snickering.

"Pinkie!" Twilight exclaimed.

Pinkie Pie burst into laughter. "He's standing in your head!" She said.

Discord was dancing on Twilight's art.

"He knows our strengths? That's gonna be a problem." Gohan said.

"Yes it will... Oh my, it appears that I don't know you! How quaint." Discord said, pointing at Gohan.

"Oh. Alright." Gohan said.

"You know, people are usually kind enough to share their names with others speaking with them." Discord said.

"Excuse me, sir. I am Son Gohan." Gohan said.

"Son Gohan, hmm? I really know nothing of you!" Discord said.

Gohan smirked.

"Stop stalling, Discord! What have you done with the Elements of Harmony!?" Celestia asked.

"Oh, so boring Celestia! Fine, I'll tell you. But I'll only tell you in my way." Discord said, jumping from glass to glass.

"Retrieve your missing element just makes sense to this change of events. Twists and turns of my master plan, then find the Elements back where you began." Discord said, returning his art to its former state, then disappearing with an evil laugh.

"C-Can we go home now?" Fluttershy asked.

"What do you reckon he meant? Twists and turns and back where we started?" Applejack asked.

Twilight trotted to a window. "Twists and turns... That's it!" She exclaimed. "I bet Discord hid the Elements in the palace labyrinth!" She added.

"Good luck, my little ponies. The fate of Equestria, is in your hooves." Celestia said, bowing her head.

"Thanks, Princess! We won't let you down." Twilight said.

Gohan and the Mane 6 ran to the palace labyrinth.

***

They stood in front of the labyrinth.

"D-Do we have to enter... THAT?" Fluttershy asked, cowering in fear.

"Nope! Because we got these babies!" Rainbow Dash said, referring to her wings. She flew up.

"I'll fly above and see where-" Rainbow Dash said before her wings suddenly disappeared.

She fell to the ground.

"My wings!" She exclaimed.

So did Fluttershy's, and the unicorns lost their horns.

The four screamed.

A green ball appeared.

A draconeequus appeared, it was Discord, laughing like a madman.

Discord's Return Pt. 2

"You should see the looks on your faces! Priceless!" Discord said, suddenly laughing like a little boy.

"Give us our wings and horns back!" Twilight demanded.

Discord moved around the Mane 6. "You see, cheating is not allowed. Which means, no flying. And no magic." Discord said.

"The second rule is, everypony has to play, or else I win..." Discord said, sitting on a bush.

"Did you forget me?" Gohan asked.

Gohan, still retaining his abilities, flew up to Discord and stared at him eye to eye.

"Oh. It seems you can fly. No more!" Discord said, snapping his lion's paw.

Supposedly Gohan would lose his ability to fly, but that didn't happen.

"W-What? Impossible!" Discord said.

"Don't worry, Discord. I won't cheat for you. It's only fair." Gohan said, lowering himself to the ground.

"What!?" Rainbow Dash exclaimed.

She ran up to Gohan.

"Are you insane? How will we win?" She asked.

"Hey, the first rule was, 'No cheating. Which means no flying or using magic'." Gohan said.

"I see. You are a smart and good... Child." Discord said.

"So you know my age, at least." Gohan said.

"I will find out more about you... You have actually given me something to do in a millennia!" Discord said.

"Better do more than that." Gohan said.

"Good luck, everypony!" Discord said, before laughing and disappearing again.

"Gohan, just fly up! We can defeat Discord that way!" Twilight said.

"If we cheat, he might just move the Elements somewhere else!" Gohan said.

"That's not- Actually, that makes sense." Twilight said.

"Plus, that also means we lose." Gohan said.

"Well, never fear guys! We have each other!" Twilight said.

"Yeah! Like Twilight said, there's nothing we can't overcome when we stick together!" Rainbow Dash said.

The Mane 6 and Gohan all stepped to the entrance.

"Alright guys, let's do this." Twilight said.

"Together!" Everyone said, taking one step.

Then, walls appeared, separating the 7.

The Mane 6 started to panic.

"Stay calm, everyone! We'll at the middle and regroup there!" Twilight said.

"Moving out!" Rainbow Dash said.

"See you at the center." Rarity said.

"Yeehaw!" Applejack said.

"Meet you guys there!" Pinkie Pie said.

Then, everyone except for Gohan and Fluttershy already took off.

Fluttershy was hyperventilating. "Who's there, who's there!?" She said, before screaming from all the stress.

"Fluttershy, calm down!" Gohan said.

"H-How!? It's so scary!" Fluttershy said.

"Don't worry, you'll be safe. Good luck!" Gohan said, before he went into the maze.

***

Applejack was running around. Suddenly, three apples caught her eye, and she went to it.

Those three apples rolled away from her.

"What in tarnation?" Applejack asked, before running after them.

They rolled straight into an illusion, and Applejack fell for it.

It was an apple grove.

"Where am I?" Applejack asked, before an apple fell on her head.

She looked around to see apples falling from the trees, and rolling to her.

Each kind of apple formed 3 different piles, and they all laughed. They also circled Applejack.

"Who are y'all!?" Applejack asked.

The dark red apples spoke first, and formed a face. "The keepers of the grove of truth... You may ask us..." it said.

Then the bright red apples spoke next. "A lot of questions..." it said.

The green apples spoke next. "Past, future or present!" It said.

They kept spitting out nonsense to Applejack.

"Alright then, I don't trust this place, but I got a real bad feeling for this fella Discord. What's gonna come from this here mission we're on?" She asked.

The apples stopped circling her, and Applejack went to a lake.

The apples followed her.

"The answers you seek..." The dark red apples spoke.

"Go ahead, take a peek!" The bright red apples said.

Applejack stared into her reflection, which suddenly turned into an 'answer'.

It was Ponyville, completely randomized with buildings floating everywhere. Gohan and the Mane 6 were standing together.

"All of you can take a hike!" Gohan yelled.

"I hope I never see you again!" Rainbow Dash yelled.

"Me too!" Fluttershy yelled.

"Fine!" Pinkie Pie yelled.

"Fine!" Rarity yelled.

"It's settled then." Twilight yelled,

Everyone went their separate ways.

Applejack stopped looking.

"No! Our friendship? Over!?" Applejack asked.

Discord was above, using the apples as puppets.

"It can't be true... It just can't!" Applejack said.

"That just... Can't be the truth..." Applejack said.

"Well the truth does..." The bright red apples said.

"Make your heart ache..." The green apples said, with spirals suddenly forming. "Sometimes a lie, is easier to take!" It said.

They were brainwashing Applejack, and she turned dark.

The illusion was gone, and a path opened.

Twilight saw Applejack, and ran to her.

"Applejack, thank goodness! I thought I heard voices over here!" Twilight said.

"Who were you talking to?" She asked.

"I was talking to a... Nopony! Nopony whatsoever!" Applejack lied. Her facial expressions almost gave her away.

"What!?" Twilight asked, confused.

"Nothing, come on! We best be going." Applejack said, trotting away.

"Did Applejack just..." Twilight muttered. "Oh come on, Twilight! Applejack wouldn't lie!" She said before trotting after Applejack.

***

Pinkie Pie was hopping through the maze and whistling at the same time.

She stopped in her tracks when she saw a TON of balloons, all with smiles on them.

Pinkie Pie hopped around, excited. "This is the best balloon garden I've ever seen!" She exclaimed. "Well, its the first balloon garden I've ever seen, but-" She said before falling into mud.

She looked up to see that a balloon tripped her.

All of the balloons were laughing at Pinkie Pie!

"Hey, what gives!?" Pinkie Pie asked.

Discord appeared in a flash. "What's wrong, Pinkie Pie? I thought you appreciated a good laugh." He said.

"It's different! They're laughing at me!" Pinkie Pie said.

Discord leaned into a balloon. "It's hardly different." He said.

His head vanished, and the balloon had a new face. "Your friends laugh at you all the time!" He said through the balloon.

"My friends laugh with me, not at me!" Pinkie Pie said.

The Discord balloon circled around Pinkie Pie. "Oh really?" He asked.

He laughed while circling faster, and faster. Then the others laughed at Pinkie Pie.

"No! Stop it!" Pinkie Pie exclaimed.

Then, the balloons had the faces of her friends.

They were all laughing at Pinkie Pie.

"Stop laughing at me!" Pinkie Pie said.

Discord's balloon circled Pinkie Pie. "Oh... Poor Pinkie Pie... and here I thought laughter made you happy..." He said as his eyes turned into spirals.

It brainwashed Pinkie Pie, changing her view on laughter. Not only this, but she turned dark.

"Happy? I don't think so." She said, and every balloon was popped.

Twilight and Applejack saw Pinkie Pie.

"Pinkie Pie!" Twilight exclaimed, running to Pinkie Pie. "Are we glad to see you!" She added.

Pinkie Pie had a mean face on. "You are, huh? Why?" She asked in a defensive tone.

"Need a good laugh!" She said defensively before trotting away.

"Why did Pinkie Pie act so weird?" Twilight asked.

"I didn't notice anything strange about Pinkie!" Applejack lied, giving a weird face that gave her away before trotting away.

"Weird... Better pick up the pace for this or the stress will get to all of us." Twilight said, following the other two.

***

Rarity was going about the maze.

"I was expecting an audience with the Princess. Not outdoor sport." She said before accidentally walking into an illusion.

The illusion was a wall with three perfect diamonds.

She gasped.

She looked into the diamonds to see Discord.

He laughed.

"Welcome to your lucky day, Rarity. You've found the one thing in Equestria that could rival my face with sheer beauty." Discord said, making the diamonds shine brighter. The brightness attempted to brainwash Rarity.

"What do you think, do you like?" Discord asked.

"I like... I like very much..." Rarity said, before shaking her head.

"No! I must avoid such beauty." Rarity said, attempting to walk away from the amazing diamonds.

"Must! Reach! Center! To reach! The others!" Rarity said, trying to avoid the illusion.

Rarity was taken over by her greed, and turned dark.

She went back to the diamonds in the wall and got it out.

"Well, it took forever..." Rarity said, running up to the combined diamond she made.

"Who knew three gems could make a HUNK of a diamond..." She said, hugging the combined diamond.

"Now to get you HOME." Rarity said, carrying the huge diamond on her back.

The wall she tore the diamond from broke down to reveal Twilight, Applejack and Pinkie Pie.

"Rarity!" Twilight exclaimed, running to Rarity.

"Are we glad to se-" She said before noticing Rarity holding the illusion diamond, a rock.

"Why are you carrying a humongous boulder?" Twilight asked.

Rarity set the boulder down. "What do you mean 'boulder'?" She said.

Rarity climbed on top of it. "This beautiful rock is a DIAMOND!" She said before hugging it. "And it's all mine." She said.

Twilight and the others were looking at it, confused.

"Keep your greedy little eyes OFF it!" Rarity said, carrying it again.

"It's MINE!" She said, slowly walking away.

Twilight and the others followed.

***

Fluttershy hid in one of the bush walls, and jumped out when seeing the coast was clear.

She was scared, beyond scared.

"Okay I can do this..." She reassured herself.

"I can do... EEP!" She exclaimed when only three little butterflies flew to her.

She ran away instantly, trying to hide inside the walls again.

But, Fluttershy realized what happened. She gasped, and stopped trying to hide.

"Wait a minute!" She said with a smile.

"Butterflies? Wait!" She said, running after the butterflies.

"Don't leave me here!" She said.

Fluttershy ran after the butterflies in one place, then ended up in another, and another, and eventually she lost the butterflies.

The three butterflies were behind Fluttershy.

"Fluttershy!" One of the butterflies called.

Fluttershy turned around.

"It looks like you've been left behind by your so called friends!" The butterfly said. It was Discord.

"Oh no, I'm certain they're doing their best to find me!" Fluttershy said.

The three butterflies began to circle Fluttershy.

"Well, it must be so upsetting to know how weak and helpless they think you are." Each of them said before flying up.

"Not at all... I am weak and helpless and I appreciate their understanding." Fluttershy said with a smile.

"Yes! Well surely it BURNS you up, that they're always pointing out your flaws, right?" The butterflies said.

"Not really, In fact, I believe I'm awfully lucky to have friends who want me to be the best I can be." Fluttershy said, still smiling.

The butterflies turned into Discord.

"Oh, for goodness' sake!" Discord yelled.

He couldn't take it, Fluttershy wasn't budging!

He put his finger on her head, and just like that, she was brainwashed.

"You've been kind for too long, my dear. Time to be cruel! Arrivaderc!" He said before teleporting away.

Part of the wall collapsed to reveal Twilight, Applejack, Pinkie Pie, and Rarity. She was still holding the rock.

Twilight trotted to Fluttershy. "Fluttershy! I'm so glad to see your friendly face! This awful labyrinth is getting to everypony!" She exclaimed, looking at the other enraged and dark three.

"Oh, boo hoo hoo!" Fluttershy mocked.

Twilight was shocked to hear this.

"Why don't you make your magical little horn, and make everything alright!?" Fluttershy mocked.

Twilight was confused. "Uh..." Was all she could say.

"Oh that's right! You don't have one." Fluttershy mocked as she trotted away. She smacked Twilight with her tail.

Twilight looked in disbelief. She saw Fluttershy hit Pinkie Pie, and Applejack's laughing!

"What is happening to my friends?" Twilight asked herself.

"What are YOU LAUGHING AT!?" Pinkie Pie exclaimed.

"U-Uh, Chocolate Milk?" Applejack lied, doing that weird face again.

***

"What am I going to do with that... Thing..." Discord muttered to himself.

"From what I see, he's a poor kid... What a life. No wonder he's here." He said with a little bit of compassion.

He snapped his fingers. "Yes! I shall haunt him with his past, and then put him in his evil state..." He laughed.

***

Gohan was now walking at a steady pace.

But something bad was happening.

"Gohan!" A very, very similar voice called.

Gohan stopped walking in shock.

'N-No...' He thought.

He took one look behind him.

It was Chi Chi, his mother.

Discord's Return Pt. 3

"Gohan! Why did you kill your father!?" Chi Chi yelled.

"B-But mom... I-I didn't-" "Yes you did, don't you lie to me!" Chi Chi interrupted.

"I-I'm not lying!" Gohan said, tears forming in his eyes.

"Yes, you did Gohan." Another familiar voice said.

Gohan looked to his side to see no other than his father, Goku.

"D-Dad!?" Gohan asked.

"You killed me! You got me killed! Gohan, you're the worst!" Goku yelled, pointing at Gohan.

"What a shame." Another familiar voice called. It was Vegeta.

Gohan looked to his other side to see Vegeta.

"A boy with so much potential, now running to a land of girl dreams to avoid punishment for killing his own father. How disgusting." Vegeta said.

"B-But..." Gohan said.

"I can't believe you were my mentor." Future Trunks said behind Gohan.

Gohan turned around.

He donned his Saiyan armor.

"How could you just let Goku die? The 'honorable' man you preach about, you murdered!" Trunks said.

"I-I didn't kill him! I-I swear!" Gohan cried.

"You did kill me Gohan, You DID!" Goku yelled.

Piccolo appeared.

"I should've left you to die a long time ago." He said, taking off his weights.

"Let us finally punish you, you ungrateful murderer." Vegeta said.

"W-What!?" Gohan cried.

Goku, Trunks and Vegeta all went Super Saiyan.

Chi Chi disappeared.

Gohan was cornered, and let himself believe he was a terrible, ungrateful murderer.

Gohan was close, he was turning dark.

Things seemed very bleak...

Then...

"No, Gohan!" A similar voice called.

Gohan immediately stopped turning dark.

"D-Dad!?" Gohan called.

"That's not me, Gohan!" The real Goku said in Other World.

"Yes, you murderer?" The fake Goku said.

"Gohan, they're fakes! Remember, you didn't kill me!" Goku called.

Gohan wiped his tears.

"You're right, dad!" Gohan said, turning Super Saiyan.

"DIE!" The fake Vegeta yelled.

Gohan only stood there. "You're not real." He said.

The fake Vegeta instantly stopped.

"You guys are just my memories..." Gohan said.

"That's it Gohan!" Goku said.

"Discord, show yourself!" Gohan yelled.

The illusion disappeared.

Discord appeared in front of Gohan.

"Well, well, well. It didn't work! How swell." Discord said.

"Your species alone confuses me. I'm not even thinking about how confusing you are when you talk." Gohan said, reverting back to his base form.

"How did you figure it out? I'm DYING to know." Discord said, appearing next to Gohan.

Gohan turned to his side and attempted to punch Discord.

Discord teleported a few feet back.

"Jeez, I'm just asking you a question..." Discord said, a halo suddenly appearing above his head.

"Can you leave?" Gohan asked.

"Oh, fine. It seems my magic doesn't work on you anyways. Ta, ta." Discord said before teleporting away.

Part of the bush wall collapsed, revealing Twilight, Applejack, Pinkie Pie, Rarity and Fluttershy.

"Oh hey! Thank goodness I found you guys." Gohan said, running up to them.

"Please tell me you're not insane either..." Twilight said, still holding Rarity's diamond.

"I-I'm not. Why?" Gohan asked, taking the boulder off of Twilight. He held it over his head.

"Thanks. They're all acting so weird!" Twilight said.

"No we're not!" Applejack said, making that weird face again.

Gohan couldn't help but snicker at the lie.

"WHAT ARE YOU LAUGHIN' AT!?" Pinkie Pie yelled in Gohan's face.

"W-Whoa... I see what you mean, Twilight." Gohan said.

"Thank you very much for holding my diamond, Gohan." Rarity said.

"Oh, your- Wait, diamond?" Gohan asked, looking up at the boulder.

"Don't get any ideas of stealing it! I found it, so it's MINE!" Rarity said, pointing a hoof at Gohan.

"Uh... Alright..." Gohan said.

"Oh, too bad, Rarity. Your 'diamond' will be stolen, oh my that's SOOO bad." Fluttershy mocked.

"H-Hang on, when did you start talking like that, Fluttershy?" Gohan asked.

"It means nothing to you!" Fluttershy yelled.

"I think we have a serious problem." Gohan said.

"Agreed. I just hope Rainbow Dash doesn't go insane!" Twilight said.

***

Rainbow Dash was speeding through the maze, watching out for any obstacle.

But then she just saw a cloud with... Rainbow lightning?

Rainbow Dash thought it was an Element of Harmony.

"I've got you now, Element!" She said, chasing the cloud.

The cloud led her straight to... Discord laying on a cloud hammock? With sunglasses?

"I can see why you like these clouds so much, they're very plush!" Discord said.

"Get off there and put 'em up!" Rainbow Dash said, standing on two legs and using her forehooves as fists.

Discord sat up. "Hey... I'm just here to deliver a message!" He said.

Rainbow Dash threatened with her hooves being thrown at the air. "I got a message for you too!" She exclaimed.

"Listen closely." Discord said seriously, taking his sunglasses off. "This, is important." He said, suddenly moving all around Rainbow Dash.

"A weighted choice is yours to make. The right selection, or a big mistake. If the wrong choice you choose, you pursue the foundations of home will crumble." Discord said, finally stopping moving.

He snapped his fingers, and the cloud with rainbow lightning spun in front of Rainbow Dash, in an attempt to brainwash her.

He showed something grim.

He showed her home, Cloudsdale crumbling, being destroyed.

"No!" Rainbow Dash yelled.

A present appeared in front of Rainbow Dash.

"That box contains your wings. You may take them and leave the game, or you can carry on in the maze, aimlessly lost." Discord said.

With that, Rainbow Dash was turned dark.

"Your choice." Discord said.

***

Twilight, Applejack, Pinkie Pie, Rarity, Fluttershy and Gohan were still wandering.

Gohan was still carrying Rarity's 'diamond'.

"I know Rainbow Dash will find us, she's always there for us!" Twilight said.

"Well lookie there, Rainbow Dash's flying away! That's no surprise." Applejack said, pointing a hoof at the sky.

"Now I know that's a lie." Twilight said, looking up.

Twilight was wrong.

Rainbow Dash had her wings and was flying away!

"W-What!?" Gohan exclaimed.

Then, all of the maze walls fell, and storms filled the skies.

"Well, well, well." Discord said.

"Somepony broke the 'no wings no magic' rule!" He said, snapping his fingers.

This gave Rarity and Twilight their horns back, and Fluttershy her wings back.

"Game's over, my little friends!" Discord said, pointing at everyone.

"You didn't find your precious Elements!" He said.

He made an umbrella appear, and it was upside down.

"Looks like we might be due for a big old storm of CHAOS!" He said, lightning bolts flying everywhere.

Discord cackled.

Gohan set the boulder down, flew up to his dragon face and punched it.

Discord walked back a few steps and made his inside out umbrella disappear.

"It seems you have challenged me. Very well." Discord said.

Gohan flew at him again, carrying two ki blasts.

"Gohan, no!" Twilight yelled.

Gohan stopped to look back at Twilight.

Discord used this to shoot a blast of fire at Gohan.

Gohan received the full blast, which didn't do much damage or knockback except for ruin his gi with cuts and gunk.

During all of this, the rest of the Mane 6 were all in an argument.

"Ha, ha!" Fluttershy kept repeating.

"STOP IT!" Pinkie Pie yelled.

"No, haha ha ha, ha!" Fluttershy said.

Rarity was protecting her 'diamond'.

Applejack stepped beside it. "Hey Rarity? Twilight said we should split this 'diamond' seven ways since we, found it together." She said.

Rarity kicked Applejack away. "Don't try, punk! He's mine, ALL MINE!" She said before charging at Applejack with a barrage of attacks.

"Girls, why are you guys acting like this!?" Twilight asked. "We need to stick together!" She added.

Gohan and Discord were evenly matched.

As a result, ki and magic flew everywhere.

Gohan appeared behind Discord and performed a double axe handle.

Discord teleported before he reached the ground and appeared behind Gohan.

He used an explosive spell on Gohan, sending him flying towards the ground.

Gohan recovered, landing gently on the ground.

At this point, he had minor cuts on his arms and face and his orange shirt was partially ripped off.

"It seems you and I are very evenly matched! This is fun." Discord said.

"Not for long." Gohan said, turning Super Saiyan.

"W-What? You only... CHANGED YOUR MANE! Hahahah!" Discord laughed.

Gohan smirked, and punched Discord in the stomach in an instant.

Discord stopped laughing, and realized how much stronger Gohan was than him.

He recoiled and bent over, grabbing his elongated stomach.

He teleported beside Twilight. "Our game must end for now, this has been true entertainment." He said.

Discord snapped his fingers to create a dark clone of Gohan, who he sent to fight.

"What the heck?" Gohan asked.

The clone was already a Super Saiyan.

"Stop it, Discord! You're not playing fair!" Twilight yelled.

Gohan had to deal with a random weaker, but substantially powerful clone of himself.

The clone charged at Gohan, and Gohan charged at him.

The battle started with a clash of fists and kicks.

So, he was occupied with that.

"Not fair? Perhaps we haven't met! I'm Discord, the spirit of chaos, and disharmony? Hello?" Discord asked.

"How are we supposed to find the Elements of Harmony when you took away the labyrinth before we could get to the end!?" Twilight asked.

"Oh wait, did you?-" Discord said, sitting on a random couch he summoned before laughing.

"Oh, how funny! You thought the Elements were IN the labyrinth!?" He asked.

He took Twilight back in time to remind her of what Discord said.

"Twists and turns of my matter plan, then find the Elements, back where you began." The past Discord said.

He took Twilight back to the present.

"I never SAID that they were in the labyrinth!" Discord said, walking away.

"B-But... But!" Twilight said.

"Keep trying, Twilight Sparkle. Maybe the 'magic of friendship' can help you! Now if you'll excuse me, I have some chaos to reek!" Discord said, snapping his fingers and teleporting away.

During all of this, Gohan and his dark clone were battling.

Gohan and his clone threw many more punches and kick at each other. There was a ton of blocking, parrying and actually landed hits.

The dark clone kicked Gohan multiple times before kicking him down to the ground.

He charged up a tremendous blast and fired at Gohan.

Gohan took the blast head on, and received quite some damage.

But, he wasn't done yet!

Gohan landed gently on the ground, flew up to his dark clone, and grabbed him by the leg.

He spun his dark clone around many times.

Eventually, he threw him up even further and fired a full power Kamehameha at him.

This attack ultimately killed, and destroyed the clone.

Gohan was pretty exhausted. His gi was in pretty bad shape, plus he had a few cuts, scapes and bruises. Especially the small gash in his shoulder.

Gohan sat down, panting.

"A-Are you alright, Gohan?" Twilight asked.

"Y-Yeah.... I'll be... I'll be fine." Gohan said, looking to his side.

Then, the cotton candy clouds returned, and they rained chocolate milk again.

"Chocolate milk!?" Pinkie Pie asked.

"I hate chocolate milk!" She exclaimed.

"They have definitely gone insane." Gohan said.

"Ugh, think Twilight, think!" Twilight said, thinking as hard as she could.

Rarity was carrying her boulder, and Applejack jumped on it.

"Don't touch my gem!" Rarity said.

Fluttershy flew by. "I'm touching your gem, ha, HA!" She said, touching Rarity's gem.

"What are YOU laughing at!?" Pinkie Pie yelled.

Twilight groaned.

"I just want to go home! Wait a minute... Home! Back where you began!" Twilight said.

"Do you think that's where those elements are?" Gohan asked.

"Yes, let's all go!" Twilight said.

Discord's Return Pt. 4

Gohan and the Mane 6 returned to Ponyville.

It was a disaster!

Pieces of the earth were flying, there was crazy weather and animal hybrids, buildings were upside down, those cotton candy clouds, and all sorts of random things!

"Come on! I'm certain this is what Discord meant!" Twilight said, trotting away.

Soon after, Angel and a bunch of bunnies with horse legs trampled Twilight.

"Oh good boy Angel! Mama's so proud!" Fluttershy said as she smirked.

"Fluttershy, why are you so mean?" Gohan asked.

"Because YOU'RE so dumb, Gohan." Fluttershy mocked.

"A-Again, why are you saying stuff like that...?" Gohan asked.

"Go away, you freak!" Fluttershy said, trotting away from Gohan.

"Oh... Alright." Gohan said, saddened.

The sun fell, and the moon rose in an instant.

The ground was flooded with soap.

"Wow! I can see much better!" Applejack said sarcastically while trying to move.

She ended up slipping, and knocking into Rarity, Fluttershy, and then Pinkie. They all fell flat on their faces.

She stopped at Gohan, though. He didn't budge.

"Uh, I meant to do that." Applejack lied.

Twilight tried to get up, but the floor was so slippery that she fell again.

Then the sun rose again in an instant.

"Discord's turned our roads into SOAP!" Twilight exclaimed.

Discord was nearby, sliding across the soap.

"Beautiful, isn't it?" He said.

He pointed at the disaster called Ponyville. "This is the new and improved Ponyville! And these are some of my FIRST changes..." he said.

Gohan flew at him, holding a ki blast.

Discord snapped his fingers and another dark Gohan clone appeared.

"You're kidding..." Gohan muttered, turning Super Saiyan.

Now an injured and tired Gohan had to fight against himself again.

Pinkie Pie was sliding across the soap roads. "This may seem like fun... BUT it really isn't!" She exclaimed.

"Now... Where were we? Oh yes, picture it!" Discord said, holding Twilight up.

"The chaos capital of the world!" He exclaimed, as the sun went down and the moon rose again.

"I can't picture it. It's too dark!" Twilight said.

Discord dropped Twilight.

An explosion of ki occurred near Discord and Twilight.

Gohan had killed his clone... Again.

Discord sighed and snapped his fingers again.

This time, TWO more clones appeared.

"Oh come on!" Gohan exclaimed, powering up.

The two clones charged at Gohan, and they battled AGAIN.

"Well, wait a few minutes and you'll see it in the beautiful light of day! Or not." Discord said, teleporting away.

"Ponyville? The chaos capital of the world!? Not if I have anything to say about it!" Twilight exclaimed.

Fluttershy was sliding across the soap road. "Don't worry!... You won't." She mocked, smirking.

Gohan fired a second Kamehameha, killing the second clones... Again.

Gohan floated back down to the ground and reverted back to his base form.

He was REALLY exhausted now. In fact the whole orange shirt was ripped off, and blood dripped down his face and arms.

"Oh my gosh, Gohan! Are you alright?" Twilight asked.

"I-I don't know... Do you... Do you have a healing spell?" Gohan asked, groaning in pain.

"Oh, you poor little thing!... Not." Fluttershy mocked, sliding away.

"I'm going to try my best to ignore those, but it's harder than it looks." Gohan said.

"Ugh, I know. Anyway, I have one back at the library, let's get there!" Twilight said, sliding away.

***

Gohan flew overhead as 5 of the Mane 6 walked to Twilight's library.

Twilight groaned. "Alright, we're here! Now everyone please, please, please just go inside, please!" She said.

Applejack trotted inside. "I absolutely refuse!" She said, suddenly turning even darker.

Fluttershy was flying. "With pleasure." She said, suddenly taking down a potted plant and stomping all over it. She turned even darker.

Pinkie Pie trotted in. "I hate libraries!" She yelled.

Rarity was trying to carry her boulder in.

"I-I'll carry it if you c-can't do it, Rarity." Gohan said.

"NO!" Rarity exclaimed.

"Please!" Twilight said. "We gotta hurry!" She said.

"Forget it, Twilight! I know what you're up to... The second I go in! You'll have your little minion Spike come in and take Tom!" Rarity shouted.

"Tom?" Gohan and Twilight asked.

"Well it's NOT going to work!" Rarity said, suddenly turning even darker.

"You're not going in without him, are you." Twilight asked.

Rarity shook her head.

Gohan lifted the boulder with the little strength he had left.

"Just get in!" Gohan yelled angrily, hurling the rock into the library.

***

Spike was inside, napping on the floor next to a mop and a bucket full of water.

Fluttershy took the bucket and dumped it all over Spike.

Spike jolted awake, and shook the water off of him. "What'd you do that for, Fluttershy!?" He asked.

Fluttershy had an evil smirk on her face. "Because you just look so peaceful!" She mocked.

"I-Uh... Huh?" Spike asked, confused.

"Here comes Tom!" Gohan yelled.

Then, 'Tom' burst through the wall.

"Careful, Gohan! Don't want to ruin his finish!" Rarity said.

Gohan groaned.

"For the love of..." Twilight said.

"Twilight, what's going on? Why does everyone look so grey?" Spike asked.

"Don't ask." Twilight said, carrying Spike on her back.

"I need you to help me find two things." Twilight said, trotting into the library through the hole Gohan made.

"Hey Twilight! What's soaking wet and clueless?" Fluttershy asked.

"Fluttershy, I've had just about enou-" Twilight said before being splashed with water.

"Your face!" Fluttershy mocked, putting the bucket on Twilight's face.

"Fluttershy, stop it already!" Gohan said.

"What are you going to do, change your stupid mane?" Fluttershy mocked.

Gohan remained silent from there on forward. Well, towards Fluttershy at least.

"What's going on with everyone!?" Spike asked.

Applejack trotted past Spike. "I think you've brought out the worst in us, Spike." She said.

"Why are you blaming Spike? He didn't even do anything!" Gohan said.

"Yeah. Exactly." Fluttershy sneered,

Gohan grunted angrily.

Twilight was looking through her library. "We need to find a reference guide to the Elements of Harmony before SOMEONE does something they'll regret!" She said. "Oh, and a healing spell." She added.

"The Elements of Harmony? I know exactly where that book is! And I know the healing spell too!" Spike said, climbing up his ladder and getting the two books.

"Found them!" Spike said, holding two books.

Fluttershy threw a scroll at Spike, causing him to drop the books.

She caught the two books and carried them in the air.

"Ha!" Fluttershy said.

"Fluttershy!" Twilight growled. "You better give me that book!" She said.

"Keep away!" Fluttershy said, throwing the books to Applejack.

"Applejack! Give me those books!" Twilight said.

"I don't have any book." Applejack said, tossing them to Pinkie, who tossed them again.

"Pinkie!" Twilight yelled.

Fluttershy caught the books again.

"You guys!" Twilight yelled.

Fluttershy threw the books to Applejack again.

Twilight chased after the book again, again and again.

Rarity took the book this time, and eventually Twilight was brawling against everyone else.

After the brawl, Twilight finally had the book.

"All of you, stay back! This is MINE!" Twilight yelled.

Spike used a scroll as a baton.

The others were slowly trotting up to her.

This was the boiling point for Gohan. It was so much so that he just screamed, screamed and turned Super Saiyan.

He stood in between Twilight and the others.

This caused everyone to stop.

"FOR GOODNESS' SAKE! Let her keep the damn book or I'll blast you without any kind of hesitation!" Gohan yelled, holding a ki blast in his palm.

"That's a load of hooey!" Applejack said.

Gohan yelled in anger, kicking Applejack, knocking her to the wall.

"DOES THAT SOUND LIKE HOOEY TO YOU!?" Gohan screamed.

Everyone REALLY stopped moving this time.

Applejack rubbed the place Gohan hit.

Her chest, mainly.

Twilight opened the book to the healing spell, and performed it on Gohan.

It only healed Gohan up to half of his strength.

"Thanks." Gohan said.

"It's the most I can do at the moment." Twilight said.

"Just find your element thingy." Gohan said.

Twilight opened the book for the Elements of Harmony.

She gasped.

"The Elements! They're right here!" Twilight exclaimed.

"This is great! Now you guys can defeat Discord!" Spike said.

Twilight closed the book.

"See? We found the Elements of Harmony together!" Twilight exclaimed.

Applejack was laying against the wall, Fluttershy was playing with Pinkie Pie's hair, Pinkie Pie sat there with and angry face, and Rarity was polishing 'Tom'.

"You guys don't really care, do you." Twilight said.

They said: "No."

Gohan reverted back to his base form. "I'm sorry I did that... My anger got the best of me again." He said, bowing his head.

"It's alright, Gohan." Spike said.

"I thought it would never happen... My friends..." Twilight said, with a sad face.

"TURNED INTO COMPLETE JERKS!" She yelled, with an angry face this time.

Twilight used her magic to put the necklaces on each pony.

"And the big giant crown." She said, putting her crown on.

"Let's go!" Twilight said.

"Aren't we missing someone?" Spike asked.

"No, we got the liar, the grump, the hoarder, and the brute!" Twilight said.

"I'm talking about Rainbow Dash!" Spike said.

"Congratulations Spike! You're the new Rainbow Dash." Twilight said, putting the necklace on Spike.

"Let's go!" She exclaimed, trotting away.

"B-But what if she finds out I'm impersonating her!? That won't end well." Spike said.

"Too bad, you're Rainbow Dash. Now let's all go talk to Discord so we don't have to ever talk to each other AGAIN!" Twilight said, trotting away.

Applejack, Pinkie Pie and Fluttershy all ran after Twilight.

They all trampled Spike.

Rarity was pushing her big boulder.

Gohan groaned. "Here, let me hold it." He said, carrying 'Tom' again.

Gohan threw it out the same hole again, making it land right next to Pinkie Pie.

"Well, well, well! I see you've found the Elements of Harmony." Discord said.

As soon as Gohan stepped out of the library, Discord snapped his fingers to summon another 3 clones.

Gohan took a deep breath.

The stress was really getting to him.

He went Super Saiyan and battled again.

"Yes, anyhow! How terrifying!" Discord mocked.

"Discord! I've figured out your lame riddle! You're in for it now!" Twilight said.

"I certainly am. You've clearly outdueled me, and it's now time to meet my fate." Discord said sarcastically, putting sunglasses on.

"I'm prepared to be defeated now, ladies. Fire when ready!" He said, making a target appear on his chest.

"Formation, now!" Twilight yelled.

Applejack, Pinkie Pie, Rarity and Fluttershy all groaned as they got into formation.

"Rainbow Dash, get out here!" Twilight yelled.

Spike was hiding behind 'Tom'.

He ran up to the formation.

"Alright, let's get this over with." Twilight said.

Her crown glowed, with caused winds to appear.

The other ponies except Spike were all floating.

A light shone, but it just didn't work.

The light stopped, and everyone fell on their faces.

"What?" Twilight asked.

"Mine's okay, it must be YOURS that doesn't work!" Applejack said.

"I hate the Elements of Harmony!" Pinkie Pie exclaimed.

Fluttershy just tossed hers aside. "Garbage." She said.

Rarity took Fluttershy's necklace. "MINE!" She exclaimed.

"Sorry Twilight." Spike said, leaving his necklace by Twilight. He started walking away.

"I better get back upstairs and clean the library. Good luck with your-" He said before being tripped by Fluttershy's tail.

"Oops. Sorry Rainbow CRASH!" Fluttershy mocked.

"Is there anyone else willing to take a shot?" Discord asked.

"JUST ONE!" Gohan yelled, in his base form.

He had one hand over the other on his forehead. A yellow ball of ki could be seen.

"MASENKO!" He yelled, blasting Discord with everything he had left.

Discord took the blast head on.

It damaged him a little bit. It gave him a few scratches.

"Oh my, it seems you have damaged me." Discord said.

Gohan could barely stand anymore. He put as much as he had left into his blast.

Discord snapped his fingers, summoning a fire blast at Gohan.

Gohan braced for impact, crossing his arms in front of him.

A huge explosion ensued.

After the fire had died down, Gohan was nowhere to be seen.

"Oh well, he's out of the picture." Discord said. He began to clap and walk around.

"Bravo, ponies! Bravo! Harmony in Equestria is officially dead! Especially your hero. Discord rules, Celestia drools!" He said before sliding away and laughing madly.

Twilight stood there, shocked.

"G-Gohan... Dead?" Twilight asked.

Discord's Return Pt. 5

Twilight looked all over where Discord had hit.

"No, nononono!" Twilight kept repeating.

"Aw, too bad! The freak's dead." Fluttershy mocked, laughing afterward.

"Fluttershy, you... Are so mean!" Twilight exclaimed.

"I'm outta here!" Pinkie Pie yelled, hopping away.

"I better get back to the farm. I got new, better friends there!" Applejack said, trotting away.

Rarity was pushing 'Tom' back to her boutique.

"Yeah, I'm sick of hanging with LOSERS." Fluttershy said, flying away.

"Fine!" Twilight called. "I don't need you! With friends like you, I don't... Need...." Twilight stopped. "Enemies." She said, turning dark.

A very loud roar could be heard from inside the library.

Twilight hadn't bothered to check it.

She trotted around Ponyville, which was turning into an even worse disaster.

The bunnies had horse legs, buffalos were ballerinas all of a sudden, ponies walked in midair, pies are flying, and a cotton candy cloud raining chocolate milk followed a very depressed Twilight.

Discord appeared next to Twilight, laughing. "Oh, ho! My stomach!" He said, beginning to walk alongside Twilight.

"Twilight, you have GOT to see what I just did!" Discord said, pointing at a scene.

A giant pepper shaker was pouring pepper on a pony, which made her sneeze.

After the sneeze, the houses all fell down like cardboard.

Discord was laughing like a little boy. "Priceless!" He said.

Finally, he noticed Twilight's depressing mood.

Discord teleported in front of Twilight with a cotton candy cone, and put the cotton candy cloud on it.

"Come on, get into the spirit of things! After all, this is your new home!" He said, eating some of the cotton candy.

Twilight looked at her 'home'. "Not anymore." She said, trotting away, towards the library.

"Yes!" Discord shouted, claiming victory.

"With the Elements and that nuisance of a child out of the way, I'VE WON! Hahahaha!" He laughed, teleporting away.

***

"G-Gohan! You're alive!" Spike exclaimed, seeing a very injured and tired Gohan.

"A book fell on my shoulder, UGH!" Gohan exclaimed.

Gohan survived the fire blast. He ran into the library as the explosion occurred. No one happened to notice.

He roared when the book fell on him.

"Oh man, we need Twilight for that healing spell, and fast!" Spike said.

"I know it's rude, but would you happen to have something to eat?" Gohan asked.

"Uh..." Spike said, scanning his surroundings. He saw a cotton candy cloud right by the door, so hey! He went and got it.

"Here's something." Spike said, handing the huge cotton candy cloud to Gohan.

Gohan chowed down on the cloud instantly.

"I forgot your... Appetite." Spike said.

"Thanks..." Gohan said.

Spike burped up a message from Celestia.

Little did they know, the cotton candy clouds had a neat perk.

Slowly, but surely, they were healing Gohan's wounds. First internally, then externally.

Gohan soon got up, examining himself.

"How are you standing again?" Spike asked, before burping another message.

Gohan examined one of his wounds. They were healing!

"I... I'm healing?" Gohan asked.

"No way. You were just being fried a minute ago!" Spike exclaimed.

"No, seriously! Look!" Gohan said, showing Spike one of his healing wounds. It was his shoulder.

"What the heck!?" Spike exclaimed, before burping a ton more messages.

"Again, what the heck!" Spike exclaimed.

The sun fell and the moon rose again.

Twilight came in through the door, dark and depressed.

"Pack your things Spike, we're- Gohan?" Twilight asked.

Gohan turned around. "Hey! You- Oh man, not you too!" He said.

"What difference does it make." Twilight said, trotting upstairs.

"It makes a huge difference!" Gohan said.

"Twilight! Cotton candy healed Gohan!" Spike exclaimed, burping another message.

"This is really starting to hurt..." Spike said.

"I don't care!" Twilight said, packing a suitcase. "Don't ask where we're going, Spike. I don't know yet. Just not here." She said.

Twilight dumped her crown in the trash can.

Gohan flew up to Twilight. "Twilight, you can't just give up like this!" He said.

Spike burped another message from Celestia. "Dang it!" He yelled.

"I can. There's nothing we can do." Twilight said.

"But you'll doom this world if you don't-"

"SHUT UP!" Twilight yelled.

A very awkward silence ensued.

Well, until Spike burped again. "Why!?" He yelled.

"Just go." Twilight said.

Gohan didn't move for a few minutes.

Spike burped another message. He groaned very loudly.

Eventually he spoke up. "Fine." He said.

Gohan flew out of the library through the hole he made.

He made sure to keep a low profile in case Discord was around.

***

Gohan made it home, and entered the shack.

He sat on his bed, confused, angry and tired.

"Did I just lose my best friends?...." Gohan asked himself.

Gohan was tossing and turning, not trying to sleep but trying to figure out how to defeat Discord.

He was drawing up a plan in his head.

"If I'm seen, he'll just spawn clones..." Gohan said to himself.

"Dang it, I can't do it!" Gohan exclaimed.

"What would dad do?" Gohan asked.

"Your dad would help you, Gohan." Goku said, from Other World.

Gohan jolted into a sat up position. "D-Dad?" He asked.

"Gohan, you have the power to defeat him! You know that!" Goku called.

"B-But he'll keep spawning clones, and I won't be able to touch him!" Gohan said.

"Gohan, he won't beat you if you unleash your rage! You have to do it again!" Goku called.

"Y-You mean... What I did against Cell!?" Gohan asked.

"Yes. His clones won't get to you if you unleash your hidden potential, Gohan!" Goku called.

"You're right!" Gohan said.

Gohan quickly changed into a fresh gi, one that wasn't ruined.

Gohan tightened the belt. "Thanks, dad!" He said.

"Good luck, Gohan. I'm cheering for you." Goku called.

Gohan flew to where he could sense Discord. He was going to end it, once and for all!

His friends turning on him, his past and Discord fueled him with rage. Gohan was ready.

But can he unleash it again?

***

"Twilight, make it stop...." Spike said, burping another message from Celestia.

Twilight used her magic to view one of the messages.

"These are the messages I've sent to her!" Twilight said.

Spike groaned as he tried to get up.

"Why would she send them back?" Twilight asked.

Twilight read out the many messages she sent to Celestia, all about friendship.

While doing this, she was being purified, regaining her colors again.

"Spike, I've figured it out!" Twilight said, using her magic to pick Spike up.

She rubbed her face against Spike's, who was groaning.

"Discord's been distracting us from what's important!" Twilight said, hopping around in a circle.

She used her magic to carry Spike around it too.

"He knows how powerful our friendship is, and he's been trying to keep us from seeing it!" Twilight said.

At this point, Spike trying not to throw up.

Finally, it stopped.

"Do you remember what I said the first day we arrived in Ponyville?" Twilight asked.

She stopped using her magic and held Spike in her hooves.

"I said the future of Equestria didn't rest on me making friends! The opposite is true!" She said, throwing Spike aside.

"The friendships I've made here are what have saved Equestria from Nightmare Moon! And... a little bribe, I guess. And now we need to save it from Discord!" Twilight said, stomping her hoof and putting Spike to bed.

"I've got to fight for my friendships, for them! For me! For Equestria!" Twilight exclaimed.

Spike was groaning in pain.

"Oh... I'll take care of Equestria myself, you can go rest." Twilight said, leaving Spike to be.

Spike burped out another message from Celestia.

Then, from there, Twilight was on her quest to reverse and purify the rest of the Mane 6.

***

Outer Parts of Ponyville

"Discord!" Gohan yelled.

Discord sat upon his throne, sipping chocolate milk.

As soon as he saw Gohan, he spat out his milk.

"You? I thought you were dead?" He said.

"Far from it. Let's settle this!" Gohan yelled, turning Super Saiyan.

The zenkai boost from the last encounter increased Gohan's power immensely.

Discord snapped his fingers to create two clones for Gohan to fight. "Give me some entertainment, why don't you?" He said, spawning popcorn and sunglasses.

Gohan flew at his clones, who flew at him.

The two clones attempted to hit Gohan on both sides with their punches.

Gohan flew up to dodge this, and flew behind one of the clones to deliver a heavy punch.

It went through it's body.

The punch caused the clone to die by turning into dust and disintegrating.

"Hm... This will be problematic." Discord said, snapping his fingers.

Four more clones appeared.

Gohan was just finished killing the other clone with a heavy roundhouse kick.

He saw the incoming clones.

He simply grunted and flew at them.

Two of the clones all knocked Gohan away with a kick and a punch.

The other clones attempted to kick Gohan back to the first two, but Gohan flew up to avoid it.

Gohan threw two powerful ki blasts, which successfully killed two clones.

Discord snapped his fingers, spawning ten more clones. He was eating the popcorn by the bagful.

Gohan landed and saw the monstrous wave of clones coming after him.

"Kamehameha!" He yelled, firing the Kamehameha wave.

This killed four of the clones.

The rest were still charging at Gohan.

Gohan was overwhelmed by eight of his clones, and received eight dropkicks.

Gohan recovered before flying too far away, using his hand and feet to stop his momentum.

Discord had spawned fifty more clones in the meantime.

Fifty-eight clones cornered Gohan. He had no way of running now.

One clone flew at Gohan, attempting to kick him.

Gohan dodged and performed a double axe handle on the clone, killing it.

Another clone performed a full nelson on Gohan, preventing him to move effectively.

Gohan struggled trying to get out of it.

Two more clones blasted Gohan.

The blast ended up killing the clone holding Gohan, but at least did some damage to him.

Gohan's gi was ripped up a little bit.

Gohan grunted as he performed an attack similar to Piccolo's, the Super Explosive Wave.

He put his hands on opposite shoulders.

He bent his knees and grunted very loudly.

He glowed yellow, then let his arms and legs fly out freely!

He yelled throughout it all.

A huge yellow explosion ensued.

This killed all of the clones, at the cost of some stamina.

Discord snapped his fingers yet again, and this time five hundred clones appeared.

"DAMN YOU!" Gohan yelled as he powered up.

Gohan flew at the horde, killing as many as he could.

However, this endless bout took a toll on Gohan, and he began to lose heavily.

The clones knocked Gohan back and forth, further ruining his gi and depleting his energy.

Gohan was probably going to die, he couldn't stay as a Super Saiyan.

"Wowee! What a show, child." Discord said.

Gohan was being held by his clones.

Discord flew to Gohan. "Such bravery... It was fun to have you here, Gohan. I know that because I know you now, so we're like best friends. Anyway, time to die." Discord said, making a powerful, unknown form of magic appear in his lion paw.

Discord was ready to throw it at Gohan.

"GOHAN!" A very similar voice yelled.

Discord's Return Pt. 6

Discord was struck by an unknown source.

Whatever it was, it was powerful.

It even killed all of the clones.

Gohan was in hooves... Or arms, actually.

Who was this mysterious source?

How did it harm Discord?

Was it the Mane 6?

He opened his eyes to see no other than his late father.

"D... Dad?..." Was all Gohan could muster at the moment.

"Gohan. You can't let your anger go, unleash it! It's the only way!" Goku said.

"D-Dad..." Gohan said.

"Son, I know you can do this. Now make me proud!" Goku said, suddenly disappearing.

Gohan closed his eyes yet again.

Until he fell on the ground, that is.

Gohan opened his eyes. "He believes me... I can..." Gohan said as he stood up.

"What was that just now?" Discord asked.

"That was my father." Gohan called to Discord.

"And you forgot ONE thing, Discord!" Gohan yelled.

Gohan channeled of his anger towards Discord, his friends and his past to power up immensely.

He yelled to no bounds.

An explosion of yellow aura ensued, terrorizing Discord.

After it died down, a huge dust covered Gohan.

You could see lightning sparks around the unseen Gohan.

After the dust disappeared, it revealed Gohan.

Gohan was different. His hairstyle had changed too, with all of his hair spiking up, and about 20 strands of it dropping down. It looked bizarre.

"I'm my father's son." Gohan said.

Gohan was now a Super Saiyan 2!

Discord was scared, and that's rare.

He snapped his fingers to form hundreds of clones.

They all darted towards Gohan, but they suddenly stopped.

Gohan had moved from where he stood originally to behind the horde.

The entire horde disintegrated.

"W-What is this!?" Discord yelled.

He was about to teleport away, but Gohan had punched him in the elongated stomach by then.

He knocked Discord back into his throne with a powerful kick.

"KAMEHAMEHA!" Gohan yelled as he fired a full power Kamehameha wave at Discord.

In his Super Saiyan 2 form, no less.

Discord screamed in agony as the Kamehameha slowly but surely turned him into stone.

A huge blast could be seen across the horizon!

After the Kamehameha died down, the smoke and dust slowly died as well.

Gohan floated back to the ground.

"I did it, dad." He muttered.

He ended it in an instant.

***

"Alright, now lets go challenge D-" Twilight said before noticing the huge Kamehameha wave being blasted across the horizon.

"What the heck!?" Rainbow Dash asked.

"Is that...?" Twilight asked.

"Gohan?" Fluttershy asked.

"D-Didn't he die?" She asked.

"No, he survived." Twilight said.

"Oh no! I need to go apologize to him!" Fluttershy added instantly.

"Let's all go, dang it! He could be in trouble!" Rainbow Dash said.

The Mane 6 had been purified again. They were ready to wield the Elements of Harmony again.

They rushed to where Gohan was.

***

Gohan stared at the stone Discord.

'I guess he can't die.' Gohan thought to himself.

He sensed six power levels approaching.

At that time, Equestria had finally begun to reverse the chaos Discord caused.

'Finally...' Gohan thought.

"Gohan!" The Mane 6 yelled.

"Are you o-" Twilight asked before seeing the Super Saiyan 2, and the stone Discord.

Gohan slowly took a look behind his shoulder.

His new look scared the Mane 6.

He turned to them.

"G-Gohan? What happened?" Twilight asked.

"I took care of Discord." Gohan said.

Gohan's gaze alone scared the Mane 6, and the lightning around him made it worse.

"A-Are you alright?" Fluttershy asked.

Gohan stared. He was a little surprised that Fluttershy wasn't acting mean again.

"G-Gohan?" Pinkie Pie asked.

"We're sorry for being jerks, can you forgive us all?" Rainbow Dash asked.

...

Gohan just gave them the silence.

"...We understand..." Fluttershy said, sadness evident.

"Yeah, I'm sure you do. You were under some sort of spell." Gohan said.

That kind of lifted the hopes.

"So...? You're...!?" Twilight asked.

Gohan smiled. "I'm glad to." He said.

The Mane 6 all hugged Gohan.

Though from our point of view it looks like a badass being hugged by horses.

"Oh how DID you change your mane like that?" Rarity asked.

"...Anger." Gohan said.

"A-Anger?... Oh my..." Fluttershy said.

"It's not the first time. Don't worry." Gohan said.

"S-So... We didn't need the Elements this time?" Rainbow Dash asked.

Gohan broke the group hug.

"I need you guys to keep this a secret." Gohan said, reverting back to his base form.

"Excuse me?" Applejack asked.

"Sorry... But I don't want anyone to know I did this." Gohan said, pointing at Discord.

"Why not? You'd be applauded for your awesomeness!" Rainbow Dash said.

"I don't want any of that... Just tell everyone that you guys stopped Discord." Gohan said.

"WHAT!?" Applejack asked.

"B-But why?" Pinkie Pie asked.

"I don't want to be noticed by everyone." Gohan said.

"Good job my little ponies!" Celestia said, flying down.

"What? Princess Celestia?" Twilight asked.

"You all defeated Discord with the Elements of Harmony after rediscovering your friendship!" Celestia said.

"Well actually-" Rainbow Dash said before Gohan stuck his hand on her mouth.

"Yep! It was all them!" Gohan said with a grin and closed eyes.

"You assisted as well, didn't you?" Celestia asked.

"I tried. Only got a scratch on him." Gohan said.

"Well, you shall be honored for attempting." Celestia said.

"Uh... Can you not let anyone know?" Gohan asked.

"Why not?" Celestia asked.

"I'm already featured in that stained glass... I don't want anything else." Gohan said.

"Well... It may be unorthodox... But I shall indulge. Congratulations, we will hold a ceremony in Canterlot!" Celestia said.

***

There was a huge celebration at Canterlot.

The Mane 6 were honored for destroying evil yet again.

Gohan stood in the crowds, smiling the entire time.

"We are gathered here today to once again to honor these six, who stood up to Discord, and saved Equestria from eternal chaos!" Celestia pronounced.

The ponies cheered.

Celestia revealed a new glass window.

One that shocked many, including Gohan.

Gohan was the one who stopped Discord in the glass. In his Super Saiyan 2 form.

The crowds went silent.

The Mane 6 were all shocked.

"W-Who is that!?" A pony asked.

"I believe we are due an explanation from somepony in the audience." Celestia said.

'No...' Gohan thought.

"Son Gohan, please come up here." Celestia said.

"Who's that?" Many ponies asked.

Twilight was afraid for Gohan for... Wait, what?

Lying about not being the hero...?

Sounds reasonable for the death penalty, I'm sure you'll agree.

Gohan stepped up to Celestia.

"This is the one who stopped Discord." Celestia said.

The audience was shocked.

"WHAT!?" The crowds asked.

Gohan was scared. "H-How did you..." He asked.

"I witnessed your bout with Discord." Celestia said.

"But he don't look like that pony in the glass!" A pony called out.

"It's because he has transformed. As a reward for his heroic deeds, Son Gohan will be issued a ticket to the Grand Galloping Gala!" Celestia declared.

The ponies clapped slowly, then began to cheer.

"W-Wait!" Gohan said.

Everyone stopped.

"I... I don't want this reward." Gohan said.

"WHAT!?" The audience yelled.

"Why not? You rid Equestria of this evil!" Celestia called.

"I... I don't want to receive praise for this. I have to credit them for allowing me to tap into my hidden potential." Gohan said, pointing at the Mane 6.

"Gohan?" Twilight asked.

"Without them, and another great source, I would not have been able to do that. Please, give them the reward. I am not worthy." Gohan said.

Gohan even surprised Celestia with his request.

"W-Well... I suppose I shall reward Twilight Sparkle and her friends... I also suppose I shall reward you with necessary currency..." Celestia said.

"I-I..." Gohan said.

"Please, Son Gohan. You will receive a ticket to the Gala, plus one. And a hefty reward of five thousand bits." Celestia said.

"W-What!? W-Wait, I don't know about that!" Gohan said, sticking his arms out and shaking hands.

"Take it!" A pony yelled.

"Now, Gohan." A very similar voice said.

Gohan's pupils dilated as soon as he heard the voice. He turned around to see...

Goku. He had a halo.

"You deserve this reward." Goku said.

"Who are you?" Celestia asked.

"Dad!?" Gohan asked.

"Dad!?" Everyone, and I mean every single pony asked.

"DAD!" Gohan yelled, running up to him and giving him a tackle hug.

"T-That's Gohan's father!?" The Mane 6 asked.

"Hey there, Gohan!" Goku said, hugging Gohan back.

"Sir, what is your name." A royal guard called.

"I'm Son Goku! You can just call me Goku." Goku said.

"Darling, you must be an angel! You have a halo!" Rarity said.

"That just means I'm dead." Goku chuckled.

"What!?" Twilight and Celestia asked.

"This has gone way off course, we will have a meeting at a different time." Celestia said.

"I just wanted to see my son, I have to leave." Goku said.

"Don't go yet...." Gohan said.

"Sorry Gohan. I'll keep calling you from time to time." Goku said, patting his son.

"Alright..." Gohan said, breaking the hug.

"I know I've asked already, but take good care of my son for me." Goku said, putting two fingers on his forehead.

"ALIENS!" A pony yelled.

"W-We'll make sure of that, sir..." Applejack said.

"Alright, see ya!" Goku said, teleporting back to Other World.

"Gohan... Y-Your father..." Twilight said.

Gohan chuckled.

The event will not bode well for Gohan soon enough.

***

Gohan's Shack

Gohan was just about ready to go to bed. He had a long day, dealing with Discord and all.

He even reached Super Saiyan 2 again.

Although he was the savior, he lied about his deeds. He claimed to have done nothing, and that the Mane 6 did it.

He was found out.

He didn't want attention, so yeah. That's what happened.

He didn't know, but many ponies who wrote the newspapers began to write about Gohan.

Gohan was glad to receive five thousand bits as a reward, and the ticket for the Gala.

But he feared that ponies would start talking about him after the events today.

A very loud knock came from Gohan's door.

Gohan opened the door to be greeted with a note.

It read:

"Library, Noon. Tomorrow.

Why? I need to ask you some questions.

Twilight Sparkle"

"Uh oh..." Gohan said.

Gohan knew why he was summoned.

What do you think?

What other wacky things will Gohan go through? Will he be able to steer away from attention?

Beginning of Gohan's Nightmare (Twilight's Questioning)

Twilight's Treehouse

"HOW DID YOU DO ALL THOSE THINGS!?" Twilight asked instantly.

"Be quiet, please!" Gohan said.

"Sorry, sorry. Just..." Twilight said, grabbing a notebook and pencil with her magic.

"Tell me. You've been doing these things and I haven't asked why." Twilight said.

"Okay, but hold on. Who's there!" Gohan called.

"What?" Twilight asked.

"There's someone else here... And it's not Spike." Gohan said.

"Pinkie, get out here." He said.

"P-Pinkie?" Twilight asked.

Pinkie Pie crawled out of Twilight's trash can.

"Awwww You caught me!" Pinkie Pie said.

"H-How!?" Twilight asked.

"Pinkie, I advise you leave before you get... Surprised." Gohan said.

"Nopony surprises me, I surprise everypony!" Pinkie Pie said.

"Plan a party. Trust me, I know when a party's going to happen." Gohan said.

"You're a good joker! Anyway, bye!" Pinkie Pie said, zipping out of the treehouse.

"Okay, now I need you to keep all of this under covers." Gohan said.

"You have my word." Twilight said.

"I... I have super abilities, as you know. I'm surprised no one asked about it yet. I expected something about aliens. Do you want to know why I have abilities?" Gohan asked.

"Yes please!" Twilight said.

"Remember ki?" Gohan asked.

"Yes. Tell me what that is." Twilight said.

"It's pretty much life force, strength, and power levels." Gohan said, holding a ball of spare ki in his hands.

"It's... So weird... It isn't magic?" Twilight asked, writing notes.

"It isn't magic. Well, catch!" Gohan said, tossing the ball at Twilight.

Twilight was startled. "Ahh!" She yelled as the ball didn't explode, but went inside her.

"W-What?" She asked. "Why do I feel stronger all of a sudden?" She asked.

"I gave you some of my ki. I can use it to give others strength or harm others. Or..." Gohan said.

"Kill?" Twilight asked.

"Yes. I've used it so well that when I was four, I exploded a mountain." Gohan said.

"WHAT!?" Twilight asked.

"Yep. Don't tell Rainbow Dash this, but I'm faster than her." Gohan whispered.

"N-No, she's the fastest flier in Equestria! She broke the speed of sound!" Twilight said.

"Yes, her Sonic Rainboom was fast. I wasn't fazed too much. But I can... Well, go light speed." Gohan said.

"Impossible." Twilight said.

"You sure?" Gohan asked, appearing behind Twilight.

"AHH!" Twilight screamed.

"See, I can change it all I want." Gohan said.

"I-Is this ki? How did you do that?" Twilight asked.

"I guess it's ki. It's also because I trained seriously." Gohan said.

"How are you such a good street fighter?" Twilight asked.

"I'm a martial artist, wishing to be a scholar. It's definitely not street fighting." Gohan said.

"How? Aren't you just throwing attacks out of nowhere?" Twilight asked.

"Martial arts requires skill. It's not just throwing a punch. You need to hone your skills, have a calmed mind, and only fight when needed. When you do fight, you calculate your opponent's rhythm, distance, movements and predict what they will do. You also tend to aim for serious parts of the body, rather than blindly attacking a random part of the body." Gohan explained.

Twilight wrote it all down. "Okay... Who's weaker than you?" She asked.

"Hm... I was stronger than my dad in Super Saiyan... I am the only Super Saiyan 2... I'd say Discord and the princesses are weaker than me." Gohan said.

"No way, the princesses are the strongest!" Twilight said.

"Sorry, but I can destroy the sun, moon, and this planet." Gohan said.

"Uh... A very serious claim..." Twilight said.

"I don't intend to do any of that, but I also know the princesses are suppressing their strengths." Gohan said.

"What?" Twilight asked.

"They only show it when raising the moon and sun." Gohan said.

"How can you tell?" Twilight asked.

"Their kis are the strongest whenever they do it. However, when we're around them, they feel as strong as a regular pony. I do that very often." Gohan said.

"You can even sense others with ki? Is that why you knew Pinkie was here?" Twilight asks.

"Yeah, it's why her parties never surprise me." Gohan said.

"W-What? Nobody can expect Pinkie's parties!" Twilight said.

"When she pops up out of nowhere, she's usually in a trash can or behind a tarp against the wall." Gohan said.

"W-What? How do you..." Twilight asked.

"When she wants to surprise us with a party, there's usually many ponies in one space. That's why some of my reactions are delayed." Gohan said.

"So that's why you were expressionless when she had her first surprise party." Twilight said.

"Yes. Any other questions?" Gohan asked.

"Yeah. How did your father visit if he's DEAD!?" Twilight asked.

"I don't know the answer to that. He died twice, I can't tell you." Gohan said.

"Alright... Wait, what? Twice? How'd he- You know what? Nevermind." Twilight said.

"Okay. I only hope Celestia didn't give me too much attention." Gohan said, walking to the door.

"Wait." Twilight said.

"What?" Gohan asked.

"Just... Look at this." Twilight said, grabbing a newspaper for today.

It read: 'Weird Alien Defeats Discord, Refuses Reward'

"That can't be good." Gohan said.

"Just... Good luck. See you later." Twilight said.

Gohan stepped outside Twilight's library, and instantly ran home.

The good thing was, he wasn't noticed by anyone.

At least he thought.

Gohan cleared the skies in an instant for noon, and was home within a minute.

Gohan was about to enter his shack.

"Hold it right there, buster!" Rainbow Dash yelled.

'Uh oh.' Gohan thought. He turned around.

Rainbow Dash was flying at Gohan.

"You were fast! When were you able to do that?" Rainbow Dash asked as she landed.

"Uh... I don't know. I think I just rushed." Gohan said.

"I demand a race!" Rainbow Dash said.

"Oh gee, I don't know Rainbow." Gohan said, scratching the back of his head. "You'd probably win." He said.

"But I still have my doubts about you." Rainbow Dash said.

"No, I'd rather not. It'd be a waste of time for you." Gohan said.

"Fine. If you do something cool like that again, you HAVE to race me!" Rainbow Dash said.

"Uh... Alright..." Gohan said.

"See you around." Rainbow Dash said, flying away.

"That was close..." Gohan sighed.

"Excuse me!" A voice rang.

Gohan looked in the distance to see a purple pony.

It was Cheerilee, a school teacher at Ponyville Schoolhouse.

Gohan's Nightmare (The Terrible News, and Hope Regained)

"Hello! Who are you, miss?" Gohan asked, bowing his head.

"I'm Cheerilee, a schoolteacher at Ponyville Schoolhouse. I've come to ask... How old are you?" Cheerilee asked.

"I'm... Twelve." Gohan said.

He forgot, he doesn't have a calendar.

"I thought so! You're underage!" Cheerilee said, pointing a hoof at Gohan.

"U-Um... Yes?" Gohan said. "Is that a problem?" He asked.

"Yes it is. You can't simply own a residence, and you must go to school!" Cheerilee said.

"W-What? Are you telling me I have to go to grade school?" Gohan asked.

"Yes. You need to find a different place of residence. One with an adult. The mayor of Ponyville, Mayor Mare has summoned you." Cheerilee said.

"Uh... Okay... Where's Mayor Mare?" Gohan asked.

"I will take you to her. Then I must return to the schoolhouse." Cheerilee said, trotting away. "Follow me." She added.

'Uh oh...' Gohan thought.

***

"Mr. Son, I've summoned you here for a reason. You're underage. Also you defeated Discord, thank you very much for that." Mayor Mare said.

"Uh... Yes... Can I keep my job in the sky?" Gohan asked.

"I don't believe so, despite your weird ability to fly." Mayor Mare said.

"W-What am I going to do!?" Gohan asked.

"Firstly, you may probably keep your job as weather pony. Secondly, you must attend school at Ponyville Schoolhouse. Thirdly, you must find a different residence, one with at least one adult to take care of you." Mayor Mare said.

Gohan was wide eyed. "Please tell me you're lying..." He said.

"I'm afraid not." Mayor Mare said. "I want you to know that I respect you, but everypony must abide by the law." She added.

"Alright... W-When do I start school?" Gohan asked.

"You start... Tomorrow. Today's Monday, be at Ponyville Schoolhouse by 8:30 AM." Mayor Mare said, scanning Gohan's schedule.

She handed the schedule to Gohan. "You will need this." She said.

Gohan took the paper and sighed. "Oh well." He said.

"Well, you may have to be at the orphanage. Your shack will be owned by the government. Here's a suitcase." Mayor Mare said, giving Gohan a small suitcase.

"Take your belongings and put it inside. If you find somepony to take you in, you won't have to be at the orphanage." Mayor Mare said.

Gohan had a sad look. "Alright." He said. "Have a good afternoon." He added as he left.

***

Gohan went home, packed his clothes and bits and left.

He flew to Twilight's Treehouse.

Gohan knocked on Twilight's door.

"Come in!" Twilight yelled.

Gohan opened the door and entered. "Twilight, I'm in trouble." He said.

"What's wrong?" Twilight asked.

"I'm getting kicked out of my house, and I have to go to school. I think I lost my job, too." Gohan said.

"Oh. That's not good... I can't house you, sorry." Twilight said.

"I wasn't going to ask that, but do you know anyone else who can?" Gohan asked.

"Maybe Applejack or Fluttershy... I don't know about them, but it's worth a shot." Twilight said.

"Thanks. See you around!" Gohan said, rushing out Twilight's door.

As soon as he left, he was greeted by a crowd of news reporters.

"Oh no!" Gohan yelled.

"Excuse me, Mr. Gohan!"

"MR. GOHAN!"

"WHY DID YOU REFUSE A REWARD FROM PRINCESS CELESTIA HERSELF?"

"ARE YOU A MINOR?"

"WHAT ARE YOU!?"

"HOW DID YOU DEFEAT DISCORD?"

"WERE YOU THE ONE WHO DEFEATED THE URSA MAJOR?"

The ponies shouted.

They were even taking pictures of Gohan, which made it worse.

Gohan instantly flew up to the skies, avoiding the ponies.

"GET BACK HERE! YOUR INTERVIEW ISN'T OVER!" The ponies shouted.

Some of the pegasi flew up after Gohan.

"Please leave me alone!" Gohan shouted.

"ANSWER OUR QUESTIONS!" They yelled.

Gohan sighed and used his tremendous speed to seemingly teleport away.

"What!?" The ponies shouted.

***

Gohan flew into Canterlot, and towards Celestia's palace.

"Princess!" Gohan yelled.

"Halt! State your business." The solar guard yelled, blocking the entrance.

"I need the princess to help me!" Gohan said.

"Oh, y-you're the one who stopped Discord, did you not?" The guard asked.

"Oh no.... Yes I did, now I need to see the Princess!" Gohan said.

"You've caused quite a fuss here. What rights do you have to see the princess?" The guard asked.

"W-What did I do!?" Gohan asked.

"There's protests all over Canterlot over you. They refuse to live among 'a hairless monkey'." The guard said.

It was worse than Gohan thought.

"Who is at the door?" Celestia called.

"It's me! Gohan!" Gohan yelled.

"Please, enter." Celestia said.

The solar guard moved out of the way.

Gohan rushed into the palace, and bowed to Celestia.

Celestia was sitting on her throne.

"What is it, Son Gohan? And why the suitcase?" Celestia asked.

"Please, you have to help me. I lost my home, and for some reason I'm being chased by news reporters!" Gohan said.

"I believe you lost your home due to being a minor, correct?" Celestia asked.

"Y-Yes. But I really need the news reporters to high tail it!" Gohan said.

"That explains your suitcase... I will most likely be unable to shield you from the media. However, many ponies in Canterlot have extreme hatred for you." Celestia said.

"I heard... However, I need your help! I don't want to be praised or hated, I just want to be a regular person here!" Gohan said.

"I'm afraid I will have to address the issue of race after my visit to Mostcow. I will depart now." Celestia said, trotting away.

"B-But what can I do!?" Gohan asked.

"I advise you try to live as a child of a family, maybe with some of your friends. They possess the ability to house a child." Celestia said.

"I cannot help you with the media, and you will have to attend school." Celestia said.

Gohan sighed. "Okay... Safe travels, Princess." He said.

Celestia left.

Gohan ran out of the palace.

***

Sweet Apple Acres, Apple Orchard

"What? You need a place to stay?" Applejack asked.

"I'm really sorry to ask, but I'm a minor and was kicked out of my home. Please, I'll do as much farmwork as possible." Gohan said, bowing his head.

"I can't deny you're the best worker... The Apple family'll have to discuss over dinner." Applejack said.

"Thanks, at least I have a chance..." Gohan said.

"Anyhow, I have to finish bucking the apples. Want to help?" Applejack asked.

"Sure thing." Gohan said, setting his suitcase down.

"I oughta take that inside for you." Applejack said, attempting to hold Gohan's small suitcase.

"No wait!" Gohan said.

Applejack tried to carry the suitcase with all her might, and got it a few inches off the ground.

She dropped it soon after.

"What's in there!?" Applejack asked.

"Clothes and money." Gohan said.

"What, do you have weighted clothes or something?" Applejack asked.

"Uh... Yes." Gohan said, removing a single wristband. "Try holding this." He said.

Gohan tossed the wristband onto Applejack's hoof.

Applejack was capable of holding it, but it was difficult. "W-What's this, 10 kilos?" She asked.

"15, actually." Gohan said.

Applejack handed the wristband back to Gohan.

"That's heavy, how heavy's that shirt there?" Applejack asked.

"...One hundred." Gohan said.

A silence passed.

"WHAT!?" Applejack yelled as loudly as she could.

"S-Shh!" Gohan said, trying to calm Applejack down.

"H-How!?" Applejack asked.

"I asked Rarity for heavier clothes than my dad's." Gohan said.

"No, I mean... How are you moving around in that!?" Applejack asked, pointing a hoof at Gohan.

"Well, the boots are 150 each. Doing the math, we have 430 kilos." Gohan said.

"I-I don't know anypony who can even stand with that... Let alone walk..." Applejack said.

"It's nothing, really." Gohan said.

"Y-You're really amazing, defeating Discord like that..." Applejack said.

"I wish nobody would talk about that... Everyone knows or can know I did it..." Gohan said.

"Anyhow, let's clear this orchard." Applejack said.

"Oh, I'll get that." Gohan said, slamming the ground with his fist.

In an instant, every apple on every tree fell into the buckets.

Applejack's mouth was agape.

"Oh man, I did it again!" Gohan said.

"Gohan, lad. You have a very large chance of coming into the Apple family..." Applejack said.

"I shouldn't have- Wait, what?" Gohan asked.

"You did this before... Didn't you?" Applejack asked.

"I-I passed it off as you taking a while inside..." Gohan said.

"I'm getting to know you better and better, Gohan." Applejack said.

"Alright... C-Can I leave my suitcase somewhere?" Gohan asked.

"I-I'll take you inside..." Applejack said, trotting inside.

Gohan's Nightmare (Dinner with the Apples)

It was Dinner Time.

Applejack knew of Gohan's... Special appetite. So she got extra food for Gohan.

A LOT of extra food.

Gohan sat in his seat, patiently waiting for dinner to arrive.

Applebloom sat next to Gohan, Granny Smith was at the end, and Big Mac sat across from him.

"So, I've heard you cleared the orchard with a slam..." Granny Smith said.

"Um... Y-Yes, I have done that." Gohan said.

"Do ya have a cutie mark in karate?" Applebloom asked.

"A what in karate?" Gohan asked.

"A cutie mark! You know, that mark that appears on your flank when you find your special talent?" Applebloom asked.

"Uh... I don't think I'm able to receive a cutie mark. And I don't do karate." Gohan said.

"But why are you wearing the gi?" Applebloom asked.

"It's made to look like my father's. I am a martial artist..." Gohan said.

"You're only 12?" Granny Smith asked.

"I think so." Gohan said.

"That's mighty impressive. What's with the weird looking blue shirt and wristbands?" Applebloom asked.

"It's... Weighted clothes." Gohan said.

"How heavy?" Big Mac asked.

"Please don't be as surprised as Applejack was, but it's 430 kilos." Gohan said.

The other ponies were wide eyed.

"WOW! You must be the strongest around! Maybe stronger than Big Mac!" Applebloom exclaimed.

"Eeyup." Big Mac said.

"I-I don't want to brag... Don't tell anyone else." Gohan said.

"How can ya move in that?" Granny Smith asked.

"Can I hold one of your clothes?" Applebloom asked.

"Uh... You can try my wristband... It's 15 kilos." Gohan said, handing Applebloom his wristband.

"T-This is tough!" Applebloom said.

Gohan took the wristband back. "It's difficult for many." He said.

"You defeated that oaf, Discord with that!?" Applebloom asked.

"Again... Please don't make much of a fuss about it. I mean, I am ending up in your class." Gohan said.

"I-I'll try and keep it a secret, but I have to tell the other crusaders!" Applebloom said.

"Can they keep secrets?" Gohan asked with a smile.

"They sure can!" Applebloom chimed.

"You two are getting along already!" Granny Smith said.

"I guess I have a friend for school." Gohan said.

"Maybe he can help us get a cutie mark in martial arts!" Applebloom said.

Gohan chuckled nervously. "I-I don't know about that, heh." He said.

"Now, we got some fine food here for Gohan." Applejack said, pulling a tray across the floor.

It carries five regular sized plates full of vegetables and apples. There was also one huge bowl of rice.

Gohan came to Applejack's aid, carrying a plate to each pony.

"Aw, isn't that like a gentlecolt." Granny Smith said.

"Thank you." Big Mac said.

"Thanks!" Applebloom said.

"Thanks for helping out, Gohan." Applejack said.

Gohan finally put his giant bowl of rice on the table.

"None of us like rice, so we gave it to you." Applejack said.

"Oh good, I thought we were gonna share." Applebloom said.

"But wait, Gohan... Does the filly eat this much?" Granny Smith asked.

"He beat Pinkie in an eating contest, so we should probably get ready for 23rds." Applejack said.

The others stared at Gohan

"O-Oh, don't worry, I'll fast for tonight, I'll do more work for things like that." Gohan said.

"Oh. Thanks, Gohan." Applejack said.

"Alright everypony, dig in!" Granny Smith said.

With that, Gohan was already sounding like a drill.

The Apples ate slowly, staring at Gohan's appetite.

Gohan didn't realize it, and within 20 seconds, he was a fourth of the way done with his bowl.

"G-Gohan?" Applebloom asked.

Gohan stopped. With past experience, he swallowed before answering.

"Yes?" Gohan asked.

"H-How do you like rice so much?" Applebloom asked.

"Maybe because that's what my name means in Japanese." Gohan said.

With that comment, the Apples burst into laughter.

"How, how does Gohan mean rice!? Hahah!" Applejack asked.

"It's Japanese." Gohan said with a smile, resuming his meal.

"Are all of you able to eat this much?" Applebloom asked.

Gohan stopped. "Yes and no. All Saiyans have a huge stomach, but all humans seem to eat as much as you do." He said.

"Wow... An alien hybrid. That's so cool." Applebloom said.

Gohan laughed and resumed his meal.

"I wonder if the boy eats his veggies..." Granny Smith said.

"Let's see." Applejack said, leaving the table. She was halfway done with her food.

She returned with 3 bowls of vegetables. Broccoli, spinach and corn.

"Nopony here loves to eat these except for the corn, but they're good for us." Applejack said, setting the three bowls beside Gohan's big bowl of rice.

Gohan was finished with his bowl and already started loving the broccoli.

"D-Do you like those vegetables?" Applebloom asked.

Gohan finished the broccoli. "They're the best!" He said.

"W-Wow, a filly who loves his veggies..." Granny Smith said.

"I was surprised at him the first time I saw this." Applejack said.

Gohan finished his entire meal before anyone else.

"Boy, that was good!" Gohan said.

"Y-You finished before us..." Big Mac said.

"Thanks so much you guys." Gohan said.

The rest finished up their dishes.

Gohan took the plates into the kitchen, and actually cleaned them himself.

"W-Whoa, you didn't need to..." Applejack said.

"It's the least I could do." Gohan said.

***

Before Bedtime

"So... We have been deciding whether we should keep you here." Applejack said.

They were all in the living room, where a few couches existed.

"So... Are you guys alright with it?" Gohan asked.

"Well, are you able to do your own laundry?" Applejack asked.

"Sure, I can. I have been doing that." Gohan said.

"Without any doubt, we will house you, Gohan." Applejack said.

Gohan instantly smiled widely.

The Apple Family gestured for a group hug.

Gohan tackle hugged the Apple family.

"Well, Gohan. You have a busy day at school with little Bloom here." Granny Smith said.

"You two have fun, hehe." Applejack said, nudging Gohan.

Gohan gave a half death stare half gleeful face at Applejack.

"What?" She asked, breaking the hug.

Gohan laughed. "If I were a pony, probably." He said.

"What do you mean?" Applebloom asked, oblivious to what Applejack meant.

"It's nothing." Applejack said.

"Anyhow, I'll take you to your room, Gohan." She added.

Gohan was placed in the same bedroom as Applebloom.

They didn't really have many rooms to offer, but Gohan never minded.

***

It was time for bed, Gohan washed himself and brushed his teeth with his toothbrush.

He got in his small bed on the other side of the room, while Applebloom was on the other side.

"Well, see you tomorrow for school." Gohan said.

Applebloom was already fast asleep.

Gohan slowly drifted off, but he always had aching thoughts.

Some were about his past, some were about him having to live here now, and some about avoiding the media.

Gohan's Nightmare (School Pt. 1)

Gohan was already up at the crack of dawn.

Applejack and Big Mac were going out to the fields.

Gohan followed.

"Good morning." He said.

This startled the siblings.

"Oh, hey Gohan. You're up early." Applejack said.

"I'm going to train here for a little bit, do you mind if I do that?" Gohan asked, referring to the small, flat space.

"Sure thing, and if you want, you can help out in the field." Applejack said.

"I'll be sure to do that." Gohan said, smiling.

Gohan began his usual routine again.

10,000 Push-ups and sit-ups.

Tons of punches and kicks.

It took him about a half hour, but he finished.

Gohan already began picking crops for Applejack and Big Mac.

They were taking a small break, sitting while they watched Gohan's endless show.

Gohan picked each ear of corn with speed and precision.

In moments, Gohan finished picking all of the corn.

"That's about enough for the morning..." Applejack said.

"You sure?" Gohan asked.

"Eeyup. Let's get inside for breakfast." Big Mac said.

***

It was already time for Gohan and Applebloom to head out for school.

Gohan tried to avoid as many ponies as possible heading there, he could be the center of attention.

The classroom was full of fillies, and Cheerilee was scheduling her classes today.

As they entered the Ponyville Schoolhouse classroom, two other fillies ran up to Applebloom and Gohan.

It was Scootaloo and Sweetie Belle.

"Hey gals!" Applebloom said.

"Hey Applebloom! Who's this?" Sweetie Belle asked.

"Yeah, why's he here?" Scootaloo asked.

Gohan bowed his head. "I am Son Gohan, but you can just call me Gohan. Good to meet you." He said, holding out a hand.

Scootaloo took the tall person's hand and shook it.

"He's big." Scootaloo said.

The fillies were half the size of Gohan.

Cheerilee approached Gohan. "Hello, you must be... Gohan." Cheerilee said.

"Yes, C- I mean, Miss Cheerilee." Gohan said, bowing his head.

"Jeez, he bows his head often. Must be a karate thing." Scootaloo said.

"I don't do karate, silly." Gohan said.

"Well, class starts soon. You will greet everyone." Cheerilee said, trotting away to her desk.

"What'd you bring for show and tell, Applebloom?" Sweetie Belle asked.

"I brought a science thing about apples." Applebloom said.

"W-What's show and tell?" Gohan asks.

"We do it once a week, and it's a lot of fun. We show something very interesting, and the pony who wins receives no homework for the rest of the week." Scootaloo said.

"That... Sounds pretty bad." Gohan said.

"W-Wha?" Scootaloo asked.

"Wouldn't homework be a good thing?" Gohan asked.

"... Nopony here likes homework." Applebloom said.

"O-Oh, sorry. I tend to like it..." Gohan said.

"What? But if you're an egghead, why sport the karate uniform?" Scootaloo asked.

"Well, I'm also a martial artist." Gohan said.

"Yeah, he's no joke. Says he wears 430 kilos worth of clothes." Applebloom said.

"That can't be real." Scootaloo said.

"I think that's why my sister was so tired making them..." Sweetie Belle said.

"Oh, so Rarity's your sister." Gohan said.

"Yeah." Sweetie Belle said.

"Tell me how you wear those! You move around like it's nothing!" Scootaloo said.

Gohan removed his wristbands. "Try this." He said, handing the wristbands to Scootaloo.

"W-What is this?" Scootaloo asked, struggling to keep hold of the wristbands.

"They're 15 kilos each." Gohan said.

"That can be so awesome for show and tell!" Scootaloo said, handing the wristbands back to Gohan.

"I don't know about that..." Gohan said, putting his wristbands back on.

"Wow, you must be super strong! I guess your speed won't be so great." Scootaloo said.

"I guess, heheh." Gohan said.

Two fillies, Snips and Snails wanted to prank Gohan.

They snuck up behind him, and were about to jump up and say boo.

Gohan knew they were behind him, and that they crept up slowly.

He decided to pull a nice prank himself.

Before Snips and Snails jumped, Gohan moved behind them in an instant.

"Hey guys." He said.

This startled Snips and Snails, and they screamed.

"Gotcha." Gohan said, chuckling.

"H-How'd you know we were..." Snips asked.

Gohan had realized how he just slipped up.

"J-Just a hunch." He lied.

"B-But you moved so fast! You must've teleported!" Snails said.

"I don't have magic." Gohan said.

"I-I... What?" Snails asked.

They kind of backed away from Gohan.

Gohan turned back to the Cutie Mark Crusaders.

"I'm sorry, where were we?" He asked.

"H-How did you..." Scootaloo asked.

Gohan realized how he slipped up, AGAIN.

"Cough it up, Gohan. You have super speed." Applebloom said.

"You caught me, heh. Just don't tell anyone?" Gohan asked.

"Yeah, you're not as fast as Rainbow Dash. Not a big deal." Scootaloo said.

"Y-Yeah." Gohan said.

"So what are you going to show for show and tell?" Sweetie Belle asked.

Gohan sighed. "I don't know, maybe my weighted clothing." He said.

"How can you even move in that?" Scootaloo asked.

"It strains me constantly." Gohan lied.

"Oh. So you're in a ton of pain moving around in that?" Applebloom asked. "You were running all around the corn, and taking each ear off fast. How'd you do that?" She added.

"I guess I'm just excited for school." Gohan lied.

"Who's this? A hairless monkey?" Another filly asked.

Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon just arrived to school.

Gohan turned around. "Hello. My name is Son Gohan, but you can just call me Gohan. Who are you?" He asked, holding his hand out.

"What? Why are you here? As show and tell?" Diamond Tiara asked before giggling with Silver Spoon.

Gohan retracted his hand, knowing they are mean. "No. I came to learn. Also because I have to." He said.

"Why did they even let an ape in here anyway? He knows karate!" Diamond Tiara said.

"For the last time it's not- Whatever, can you leave us alone?" Gohan asked.

"Yeah, he's new. Don't do that to him." Applebloom said.

"Yeah, we might add him to the Cutie Mark Crusaders." Scootaloo said.

"Yeah." Sweetie Belle said.

Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon laughed at this.

"D-Did they say something funny?" Gohan asked.

"Earning your cutie mark is, sooo last week." Silver Spoon said, showing her cutie mark off along with Diamond Tiara.

"That's good for you. I can't get a cutie mark but I am good at something." Gohan said.

"What's that? Karate?" Diamond Tiara asked.

"Close enough, its martial arts! And also trying to be a scholar." Gohan said.

"What, you want to be a nerd when you grow up?" Silver Spoon asked.

"Kinda, yeah." Gohan said.

"I'm really confused at this, let's go." Diamond Tiara said, trotting away with Silver Spoon.

"Are they usually that mean?" Gohan asked.

"Yeah, they're always like that. Really lame." Scootaloo said.

"I guess it's a part of school life..." Gohan said.

"Students!" Cheerilee called. "We're about to start class, please take your seats." She said.

Thankfully, the seats and desks were large enough for Gohan to study.

Gohan sat beside Applebloom, while Scootaloo was behind Gohan's towering figure, and Sweetie Belle was behind Applebloom.

"Uh, Gohan, can you move?" Scootaloo asked.

Gohan realized his height problem, and immediately moved to the back of the room.

Scootaloo was about to stop him, but it was for the best. Diamond Tiara would complain about it too.

"Good morning, class." Cheerilee said.

"Good morning Miss Cheerilee." The class, including Gohan said.

"We have a new student here today. His name is Son Gohan. Gohan, can you come up here to greet the class?" Cheerilee asked.

Gohan got up from his seat, and walked to the chalkboard.

He faced the class, body posture perfect.

"Hello. I'm Son Gohan, but you can just call me Gohan. Good to meet you!" Gohan said, bowing his head.

Some of the fillies had seen Gohan in public before.

"Now, Gohan, you can pick three questions from the audience." Cheerilee said.

Many hooves shot up.

"Uh... Alright, you." Gohan said, pointing at Pipsqueak.

"Are you a master of karate?" Pipsqueak asked.

"N-Not quite, but I am a martial artist." Gohan said.

"Two more questions." Cheerilee said.

The hooves shot up once more.

"Alright... You." Gohan said, pointing at Featherweight.

"Are you a monkey?" He asked.

"I used to have a tail, so kinda." Gohan said.

"I have an addendum to that question. How did you lose it?" Featherweight asked.

"I'm not so sure myself. Sorry." Gohan said.

"One more question." Cheerilee said.

Hooves shot up once more.

"Alright... You." Gohan said, pointing at Twist.

"Aren't you the one who defeated Discord?" She asked.

"U-Uh... N-No. I'm not." Gohan lied.

"But you're Son Gohan?" Twist asked.

"I-I think that was my dad." Gohan lied.

Twist ended her questioning there.

Cheerilee knew Gohan was lying.

So did Applebloom.

"You may sit down." Cheerilee said.

Gohan did just that.

"Alright, first class is mathematics. Please take out your textbooks, notebooks and homework. Gohan, I will hand you new textbooks and notebooks." Cheerilee said.

The fillies all took out their homeworks, then their textbooks and notebooks.

Cheerilee handed Gohan a few notebooks and textbooks.

It was Mathematics, History, and Reading.

"Thank you." Gohan said.

Cheerilee walked up to the board and wrote down all of the problems that the students had the previous day.

"Alright, class. Raise your hoofs if you know the answer to the questions." Cheerilee asked.

A few fillies raised their hoofs, and Gohan raised his hand.

"G-Gohan? You haven't done the homework." Cheerilee said.

"I know the answers." Gohan said.

Gohan's Nightmare (School Pt. 2 and Running)

"E-Excuse me?" Cheerilee asked.

"C-Can I come up to the board?" Gohan asked.

"Y-You may...?" Cheerilee asked, dumbfounded.

The rest of the class was just as surprised.

They didn't know, but Gohan was at a 12th grade level.

They were doing 4th grade math, it was a joke for Gohan.

Gohan took the chalk, and wrote the answer down for every single answer.

"1. 6, 2. 24, 3. 5, 4. 15, 5. 27" he wrote.

One of the questions happened to be the bat and ball problem.

Gohan answered "The ball is 5 bits, and the bat is 105 bits."

Cheerilee was shocked to see a this random student doing the homework in an instant.

"Done." He said, putting the chalk down.

"I-It appears you answered every single one correctly..." Cheerilee asked.

Gohan smiled.

"Now hold on!" Applebloom asked.

"Yes, Applebloom?" Cheerilee asked.

"He got number 6 wrong!" Applebloom said.

Cheerilee giggled. "I expected you to say that. Who else thinks Gohan is wrong?" She asked.

Every single filly in the room raised their hoof.

"You're all wrong." Cheerilee said with a smile.

"What!?" The entire class asked.

"Gohan, care to explain?" Cheerilee asked.

(Warning: Nerdy crap coming your way)

"Sure. I know you all got: 'The ball was 10 bits. The bat is 100 bits.' But that's wrong. The bat is 100 bits more than the ball. If the ball were 10 bits, then the bat would be 110 bits. That's 120 bits, not 110. See, that's why the ball is 5 bits. The bat would be 105 bits, adding the ball would be 110." Gohan said.

Cheerilee was pleasantly surprised by Gohan.

The class was very surprised by Gohan's explanation.

"S-Should I go sit down?" Gohan asked.

"Y-Yes, you may..." Cheerilee said.

Gohan sat down.

"You see why Gohan was correct, class?" Cheerilee asked.

"Yes, Miss Cheerilee." The class said.

"Alright, any questions with the homework?" Cheerilee asked.

No one answered.

"Okay, class. Hand in your homeworks now. Except you, Gohan." Cheerilee said.

After the handing in of homework, the class finally began.

"Class, open your textbooks to page 42. We will sharpen our knowledge of PEMDAS today." Cheerilee said.

The class, including Gohan opened their textbooks to page 42, and opened their notebooks.

Cheerilee wrote a pretty long problem on the board.

Gohan did the problem in his notebook in an instant.

"Class, can somepony come up to the board and do this problem?" Cheerilee asked.

A few hoofs, and a hand shot up.

"Alright... Sweetie Belle, come up and do this problem." Cheerilee said.

Sweetie Belle used her magic to use the chalk.

The question was: "67 - 6 x 11 + 7"

She answered: "678"

"Although I commend your mental math, you are wrong." Cheerilee said.

"What?" The class, except Gohan asked.

"Does anyone else want a turn?" Cheerilee asked.

Gohan was quick to raise his hand.

"G-Gohan." Cheerilee said.

Gohan came up to the board and answered: "8".

"Correct." Cheerilee said.

"Thank you." Gohan said.

"How?" Some fillies asked.

"Gohan used PEMDAS correctly, following the rules. Multiplication before adding or subtracting." Cheerilee said.

Gohan went to sit down.

"Okay class, I want you to do numbers 2 through 10. Show all work. If you have gone ahead, you won't receive credit. And, begin!" Cheerilee said.

All of the fillies and Gohan began to do the problems.

Gohan was so fast, he finished in 10 seconds. He even showed the work.

He raised his hand.

"Did you go ahead, Gohan?" Cheerilee asked.

"No. I was at the board." Gohan said.

"Hm..." Cheerilee said as she trotted to Gohan.

She looked at his notes.

Not only were they neat, they were all right and all of the work was shown.

Cheerilee was surprised. Her face said that.

"I-I... This is... Perfect!" Cheerilee said.

"T-Thank you, Miss Cheerilee." Gohan said.

"I-I have never seen this... Y-You did everything! A plus!" Cheerilee exclaimed.

Gohan was a little surprised.

"Nice job, Gohan." Cheerilee said.

Gohan smiled.

***

Two class periods passed.

Gohan was excellent in Reading.

It was time for show and tell.

Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon both talked about the stock market, many fillies showed their toys, Applebloom showed the science of an apple, and Scootaloo showed something on wings.

"Okay... Gohan, would you happen to have something for show and tell?" Cheerilee asked.

Gohan sighed. "No." he said.

"Come on, Gohan! Show them your moves!" Applebloom said.

"Moves? What do you mean, Applebloom?" Cheerilee asked.

'No, no no!' Gohan thought.

"He's wearing the heaviest clothes!" Applebloom said.

"What?" Cheerilee asked.

"Show them, Gohan!" Scootaloo said.

"Yeah!" Sweetie Belle said.

"H-Hang on! It's not a big deal!" Gohan said.

"I believe the class wants to see it now." Cheerilee said.

"Yeah!" The class said.

"Sorry, but I don't feel like showing off." Gohan said.

"I think Gohan doesn't want to do show and tell." Cheerilee said.

"Y-Yes, please." Gohan said.

"Awww!" The class said.

"We will ask Gohan another time. It's dismissal, today was a half day. Everypony pack up!" Cheerilee said.

All of the fillies and Gohan got up from their seats, and got ready to go home.

Gohan really carried his books in one arm, while the others had a bag.

***

Everyone was outside, school ended.

All of the fillies cornered Gohan.

"Show us your weighted clothing!" The fillies yelled.

"Please, let me go home." Gohan said.

"Hey! There he is!" A pony shouted. She was holding a camera, and a notepad.

"Oh no..." Gohan said.

She ran at Gohan. "Mr. Gohan, how did-"

Gohan flew away.

This left all of the fillies and two adults dumbfounded.

A crowd of news reporter pegasi were flying behind Gohan.

"Mr. Gohan!" One yelled.

"Thanks, Krillin." Gohan muttered.

He turned around, placing his hands close to the center of his face with his fingers spread toward his eyes.

"SOLAR FLARE!" He yelled, flashing a blinding light at the pegasi, fillies and everypony facing him.

Gohan quickly flew away, aiming for Twilight's Treehouse.

***

A loud knock on Twilight's door caused Spike to nearly fall off his ladder.

He opened the door to see Gohan rushing in.

"Gohan? Why-" "Close the door!" Gohan interrupted.

Spike did that. "Why are you here?" He asked.

"My worst fear has come true, I'm becoming the center of attention!" Gohan said.

"I guess that's why you were being demonized by some newspapers." Spike said, handing Gohan an issue for today.

Gohan read the headline: 'Alien Refuses Interview, Suspected of World Dominaton'

Gohan's face quickly turned pale.

"It says: 'Defeating Discord has given us the lead that he's capable of world domination. Him and his somehow late father have made an appearance, trying to hide the fact he did this. We believe that the princesses must be informed at once. Many ponies have already protested in Canterlot, Manehattan and Hoofington. Many have defended this monster, and now violence has broke out in these cities.' I-I'm causing violence!" Gohan said.

"Oh man, Twilight!" Spike yelled.

Twilight came trotting down the stairs. "What is it Spike? Oh Gohan, why are you here?" She asked.

Gohan showed Twilight the newspaper. "And my worst fear just came true." He said.

"Oh yeah, I read that. I've sent a letter to Princess Celestia, and she wrote back voicing her support for you." Twilight said.

"That, and now everyone knows about me! I had to blind them to avoid everyone!" Gohan said.

"Was that the blinding flash of light?" Twilight asked.

"Yeah, a friend taught me it. The princess already told me she can't do anything about the media wanting an interview, and now people are telling everyone about me!" Gohan said.

"I-I will try to summon the princess for this, I can see how you're stressing out over this." Twilight said.

Spike grabbed a quill and a scroll. "I'm ready." He said.

"Dear Princess Celestia,

Gohan is stressing out over all of the fame and conflicts he caused. He cannot remain this way, as he has resorted to blindness to avoid other ponies. As you know already, many ponies despise him, and are making rash judgements about him. We request that you come to Ponyville and make changes, as he cannot fare well as of now.

Your faithful student,
Twilight Sparkle" Twilight said.

"Okay." Spike said, blowing a fire that sent the message away.

"She said she couldn't do anything when I came..." Gohan said.

"Don't worry, the princess will think of something." Twilight said.

***

Celestia read Twilight's letter.

She wrote a letter back.

"Dear Twilight Sparkle,

Princess Luna and I will arrive at Ponyville tonight to deliver a message. We will have a plan for Gohan, and I assure you he will most likely enjoy it. Currently, I have changed the minds of everypony in Canterlot, and must travel across Equestria to do the same for everypony.

Sincerely, Luna says Hi, Love Ya, Best of wishes, and everything,

Princess Celestia"

She wrote.

"Are you sure Gohan will like this change?" Celestia asked.

"I'm definitely sure Gohan will love this." Goku said, from Other World.

"Alright, then." Celestia said with a smile.

Celestia used her magic to send the message.

***

"A plan? She has a plan for me?" Gohan asked.

"Yes, she says you will like it... The other good thing is, she's fixing the problem about ponies hating you." Twilight said.

Gohan sighed in relief. "That's a relief." He said.

"You might as well stay here until then. But feeding you is going to be a problem." Twilight said.

"I fasted yesterday, but this morning I ate all the crops I picked. I'll just wait for food tonight." Gohan said.

"Alright then, make yourself at home for a while." Twilight said.

A Turn for a Nightmare (The Plan and a Reunion)

Soon, riots broke out all over Ponyville.

They were all about Gohan, and if he should stay.

There were many signs, many saying: 'Don't want to be a slave? Kill Gohan'

Some were saying: 'I refuse to live with a monkey'

Some were saying: 'Don't hate the savior of Equestria'

And many, many more.

Ponies actually began to hit each other.

Gohan looked in horror out of Twilight's window.

He quickly turned to Twilight. "I can't believe that I'm causing so much violence..." He said.

"I wouldn't worry too much, the princess will handle this." Twilight said.

"I hope so..." Gohan said.

***

Ponyville, 7:30 PM

Many ponies were fighting over Gohan.

"He's a good guy, he saved us from Nightmare Moon and Discord! He's saved your flanks!" Rainbow Dash yelled.

"He's a monster, he can destroy us all!" Another pony yelled.

"He's a weird tailless monkey!" A pony yelled.

"He ain't gonna hurt anypony!" Applejack yelled.

Celestia and Luna arrived in a carriage pulled by two solar guard pegasi.

"Princess Celestia and Princess Luna! Help us find the alien!" A pony yelled.

"Everypony, halt!" Celestia called.

All the voices and ponies stopped.

Four ponies who were actually hitting each other stopped fighting.

All of the ponies stared at Celestia and Luna.

Gohan, Twilight and Spike stepped out of the Treehouse.

"There he is!" A pony shouted, jumping at Gohan.

Gohan moved out of the way, and many more ponies followed.

"HALT!" Luna yelled.

This got everyone to REALLY stop.

"We have come to address the issue of the valiant Son Gohan." Luna called.

"Yes, and we understand some of you do not want to treat Gohan as an equal. He is alien." Celestia called.

"He can destroy us all!" A pony yelled.

"However! He poses no threat, and has saved Equestria on multiple occasions. He has shown us that he cares for this land, and will break his own limits to keep it intact." Princess Luna called.

"I don't want a big karate monkey to be in the same class as my son!" A pony yelled.

"I understand. I also understand that Son Gohan does not desire to be in grade school, as he is a great deal smarter than his age leads everypony to believe. That is why Son Gohan will not attend school at the Ponyville Schoolhouse any longer. He has the credentials to attend college, which not everyone has to attend." Celestia called.

"He's going to destroy us all!" A pony yelled.

"Like we said, Son Gohan poses no threat. You all should be welcoming of Son Gohan, as are we. In fact, we have a crystal ball. This will prove if Gohan will tell the truth." Celestia said, using her magic to reveal a crystal ball.

"Son Gohan, you are to come up here!" Luna called.

Gohan flew up to the princesses, and bowed.

"Put your hand on this ball." Celestia commanded.

Gohan did just that.

"If the ball turns red, then Son Gohan cannot be trusted. If it turns green, he is trusted." Luna said.

"Say you would never go for world domination." Celestia said.

"I will never try to go for world domination." Gohan said.

The ball was green.

"Would you like to protect Equestria?" Luna asked.

"I would protect Equestria, even if it kills me." Gohan said.

The ball was green.

"This does it." Luna said.

All of the ponies in the audience respected Gohan from that point.

"Everypony, listen up! I, Princess Celestia," Celestia called.

"And I, Princess Luna," Luna called.

"Both decree, that Son Gohan becomes the sole protector of Equestria." Celestia and Luna called.

Everypony suddenly cheered for Gohan.

"This means that Son Gohan's new job is for him to protect Equestria in times of need." Celestia called.

Gohan was shocked, yet happy.

He had a new job, and he didn't have to go to school anymore!

"And, we have a great visitor for Son Gohan." Celestia called.

"And he's finally here!" A familiar voice yelled.

Goku, who had gone to Fortuneteller Baba, was able to come to Equestria, despite being dead.

He only had 24 hours.

He landed in front of a shocked Gohan.

"Hey again, Gohan!" Goku said.

"This, is the father of Son Gohan." Luna called.

'Again?' Twilight thought.

"Hi!" Goku said to the crowd.

Pinkie Pie ran up to Goku. "WE NEED TO THROW A PARTY FOR THESE TWO!" She yelled.

"And in 3, 2, 1..." Gohan muttered.

All of a sudden, everypony was at Sugarcube Corner, there was a huge party in honor of Gohan and Goku.

Goku smiled. "So, how'd we get here?" He asked Gohan.

Gohan hugged Goku. "I'm going to say magic." Gohan said.

"I'm really proud of you, Gohan. I want to stay here with you, but I only have 24 hours here." Goku said.

"HEY GOHAN! YOU AND YOUR DAD, EATING CONTEST. NOW!" Pinkie Pie yelled.

Goku and Gohan looked to see a banquet, and it was all for Goku and Gohan.

"Alright! I'm famished!" Goku said.

"It's me versus you, Dad!" Gohan said.

They both grinned at each other before diving in at the food.

***

Gohan was finally full, and Goku was still going at it.

"W-Well, darling. This is definitely your father..." Rarity said.

"You said it!" Pinkie Pie said.

"Who cooked all this food?" Gohan asked.

"Yeah! My compliments to the chefs!" Goku yelled, eating again.

"Some is from Pinkie Pie, and the rest is from chefs from Canterlot." Celestia said.

Pinkie Pie hopped around Goku and Gohan. "We still haven't started the games! OOH! And we haven't started the contests, and the cake! AAAAND, we also have to-" "H-Hold on, Pinkie." Gohan interrupted.

"Yeah, I'm not done eating yet!" Goku said.

***

After plenty of games, piñata hitting, and for some reason, a second feast for Goku and Gohan, the party ended.

"Hey, I got an idea!" Rainbow Dash said, walking out of Sugarcube Corner with the Mane 6, Goku and Gohan.

"What is it?" Goku asked.

"Why don't you two have a fight?" Rainbow Dash asked.

"U-Us?" Gohan asked

Goku chuckled. "You mean like old times, Gohan?" He asked.

"I mean, I have been training..." Gohan said.

"Yeah, why don't we see Gohan's match? His dad?" Pinkie Pie asked.

"I believe we have an arena for such things." Luna said.

"Maybe tomorrow, it is very late." Celestia said.

"Where do you guys live?" Goku asked.

"We live over there, in Canterlot." Celestia said, pointing a hoof at Canterlot.

Goku put two fingers to his head.

He was sensing where Canterlot would be. Especially Celestia's palace.

"I got a read on where you two live." Goku said.

"W-What?" Twilight asked.

"Everyone grab on to me." Goku said.

Gohan and Spike put their hand on Goku, the princesses, the Mane 6 and the very tired solar guard put their hoof on Goku.

In an instant, they were in the palace.

All of the ponies were surprised.

"W-What is this?" Luna asked.

"It's my Instant Transmission. Learned it on Planet Yardrat." Goku said, smiling.

"T-This is..." Fluttershy mumbled.

"Awesome!" Rainbow Dash finished.

Goku chuckled. "Do you really want to fight again, son?" He asked.

"Well, I guess. I want to see if you've trained as well." Gohan said.

"That settles it. Tomorrow morning, we will put you two in the arena. This can be a learning experience for you, Twilight Sparkle." Celestia joked.

"You will sleep in those rooms." Luna said, pointing a hoof at 3 rooms with tons of beds.

'I can actually see Gohan's limits against his dad, probably.' Twilight thought.

"I'm surprised you could do that, Son Goku." Celestia said.

"I have experience. Heh." Goku said.

"Well, surely you two can give us a show tomorrow." Applejack said.

"We'll just have to see." Twilight said.

Goku Vs. Gohan

The time had come.

Goku and Gohan were in the arena.

The arena was barren, and the floor was made of flat stone.

There was an invisible magical force field for a ceiling, as to prevent any running away.

The bystanders who watched consisted of many ponies.

The princesses, the Mane 6, Spike, many random ponies, and even Blueblood was there.

The princesses had two very comfortable chairs to sit in, while the Mane 6 and Blueblood sat beside them.

All the other ponies had a giant bench to sit on.

"I honestly don't see how two overgrown monkeys can give us a show." Blueblood said.

"I believe it will be a very action packed battle." Rarity said.

"I bet Gohan's gonna win!" Spike said.

"Nah, Goku's gonna beat him!" Rainbow Dash said.

"What do you think, Fluttershy?" Twilight asked, notepad and pencil in magic.

"Oh, I don't know... I'll root for the two of them..." Fluttershy said.

"If that fellow is that boy's father, then I can only imagine how much stronger he is than Gohan." Applejack said.

Blueblood scoffed. "I still can't believe you made a child protector of Equestria, Auntie." He said.

"He has saved us from chaos, nephew." Celestia said.

"We shall start the match now." Luna said.

***

Goku and Gohan stared each other down. A smile on both of their faces.

"No holding back, Gohan!" Goku said.

"Same to you, Dad!" Gohan said.

"Everypony, the match begins now!" Celestia called.

Horns erupted, and the two Saiyans clashed instantly.

Goku and Gohan charged at each other at light speed.

Not even Rainbow Dash could see the movement.

They threw a punch at each other, and the resulting parry produced a shockwave/wind that hindered the sight of the bystanders.

Twilight wrote the event down.

"I-It just started, and now they created wind!" Twilight said.

Immediately, Goku and Gohan started throwing rapid punches and kicks at each other.

As they clashed all over the arena, they kept yelling: "ATATATATATATATA!"

Occasionally they hit one another.

Not even 15 seconds into the match, and all of the ponies were flabbergasted.

"H-How aren't they tired yet!?" Twilight asked, writing down notes.

"How are they moving so fast?" Rainbow Dash asked.

Fluttershy cowered and hid behind her chair as the shockwaves appeared.

"It's so barbaric!" Blueblood shouted.

"It's AWESOME!" Rainbow Dash said.

'I-Insane!' Twilight thought.

Goku finally landed a heavy punch on Gohan, which launched him away at last.

Gohan recovered, and spun around to land on the wall with his feet, and jump back at Goku.

Goku expected a punch, but Gohan actually flew behind him, and kicked him in the back.

Goku was launched, but turned around and shot a powerful ki blast at Gohan.

Gohan deflected it and flew at Goku.

"This is very action packed, wouldn't you say, sister?" Celestia asked.

"Indeed." Luna said.

"They're fast!" Pinkie Pie said.

"Not faster than me!" Rainbow Dash said.

"I don't know, sugarcube." Applejack said with a smirk.

"What does that mean, AJ?" Rainbow Dash asked.

"It means that they're probably faster than you." Applejack said.

"No they're not. I'll race Gohan after this, just you wait." Rainbow Dash said.

'Uh oh.' Twilight thought. 'But it's really fast!'

"Auntie, this is too barbaric! I demand that you relieve them of this fight, and that boy's duties!" Blueblood said.

"Nephew, you must be kind. Now hush, this battle is getting interesting." Celestia said.

Fluttershy kept hiding behind her hooves and peeking again.

Goku and Gohan were throwing punches and kicks again, and Goku knocked Gohan away.

"Let's kick it up a notch!" Goku said, turning Super Saiyan.

His irises turned blue, his hair spiked up, and turned yellow in an instant.

"You said it!" Gohan said, turning Super Saiyan.

The transformation shocked the audience.

"Oh my, now I remember that monkey! He was at the Gala!" Blueblood shouted.

"Yes, the good boy pulled the carriage for us." Rarity said.

"I-I still don't know how they do it." Rainbow Dash said.

"The battle has increased in action!" Luna exclaimed.

The Super Saiyans stared each other down.

Then, Gohan seemingly appeared in front of Goku, who blocked Gohan's punch with his forearm.

"H-He's fast!" Rainbow Dash said.

"Do you still think he's slower than you, Dashie?" Pinkie Pie asked.

"U-Uh, yeah!" Rainbow Dash said nervously.

'His speed multiplied! But by how much?' Twilight asked, writing down notes.

"So cool!" Spike said.

Gohan threw many punches at speeds unimaginable, which Goku all blocked.

Goku dodged the next one, and kneed Gohan in the stomach.

Gohan was knocked away with another kick before he could recover from the knee.

Gohan stopped himself in midair, and Goku was charging at Gohan.

Gohan blasted many ki blasts at the incoming Goku.

Goku was hit by one, and dodged every other one.

Gohan kicked Goku back down to the ground, and Goku jumped back up at Gohan, cracking the ground below him.

"Their strengths alone can shatter the ground!" Celestia said.

"No wonder he defeated Discord!" Rainbow Dash said.

Fluttershy was so scared that she ended up hugging Rainbow Dash without realizing it.

"Fluttershy, what are you doing?" Rainbow Dash asked.

"I'm too scared!" Fluttershy said.

Rainbow Dash sighed.

Twilight couldn't help but giggle.

Goku and Gohan were throwing barrages of punches and kicks at each other again.

"ATATATATATA!" They yelled again.

"I could barely keep up before, now it just looks like they're just... Pieces!" Twilight exclaimed.

Rainbow Dash's mouth was agape.

Fluttershy hugged tighter.

"F-Fluttershy! Too... Tight!" Rainbow Dash said, losing air.

"Oop, sorry... EEP!" Fluttershy said as she let go, when they clashed in front of her.

Eventually, Goku knocked Gohan away again.

"Show me your full strength, Gohan!" Goku yelled.

"Are you sure?" Gohan asked.

"Yes." Goku said.

Gohan channeled his rage to ascend to the Super Saiyan 2 form.

His hair spiked up, and overall looked different.

"I never cease to amaze myself." Goku said.

"Why?" Gohan asked.

"Because... THIS!" Goku said, turning Super Saiyan 2 himself.

Goku's hair spiked up even more.

This surprised Gohan.

"Y-You did it too?" Gohan asked.

"Yep! I did it in heaven. Now, let's go!" Goku said.

Goku and Gohan clashed again, and this time, nopony could even see them.

"H-How can anypony move so fast!?" Applejack asked.

"Well, when you got wings like these, and training like them, it's easy!" Rainbow Dash bragged, showing off her wings.

"RD, you will never learn." Applejack said.

"Now what's that supposed to mean!?" Rainbow Dash asked.

"You know." Applejack said, giggling.

"Hey! He is NOT faster than me!" Rainbow Dash retorted.

"Don't worry, I think you're still the best..." Fluttershy said.

"At least I got one pony on my side." Rainbow Dash said.

"Everypony, look!" Twilight said.

Goku had been knocked away by Gohan.

He put two fingers to his head and teleported behind Gohan.

He kicked him away!

Gohan recovered and stood on the ground again.

"It's time to end this. SUPER KAIOKEN!" Goku yelled, using the Kaioken times 2. His yellow aura turned into a crimson red, and his power doubled.

"What?" Gohan asked before he was hit by a punch.

It was too fast for even him to see.

As Gohan was knocked away, Goku began to charge his Kamehameha.

Gohan recovered and also charged his Kamehameha.

"KAMEHAMEHA!" They both yelled.

The clashing blasts were too much for the force field, and it broke.

Celestia used her magic to try and protect the ponies if anything were to happen.

"I-I never thought there could be TWO of them!" Twilight exclaimed.

Goku quickly overpowered Gohan's own blast.

Gohan was holding Goku's Kamehameha back his just his bare hands.

It tore at Gohan's arms more and more as time went by.

Finally, Gohan couldn't hold it off.

The most the blast did was explode, not shoot off into the horizon.

But there was tons of smoke.

All the ponies looked into the arena.

Goku let the Kaioken die out.

There was only silence as the smoke died down.

The smoke finally died.

It revealed Gohan with a very torn gi.

Goku managed to knock the Super Saiyan 2 out of Gohan.

Gohan was back in his base form, exhausted and defeated.

He was panting.

Goku powered down to a mere base form.

He also walked in front of Gohan.

Gohan, not giving up, attempted to punch Goku as a last resort.

But, he stopped before he reached Goku's face.

Goku's hair flew for a moment from the wind of the punch.

But...

Gohan collapsed.

Goku caught Gohan before he reached the ground. "You fought well, son." He said.

All of the ponies except for Blueblood cheered.

Goku reached into a small baggie on his belt. He brought senzu beans.

Goku put the bean in Gohan's mouth. "You fought well." He said.

Gohan was healed completely, and was at full strength again.

"Dad?" He asked.

"Hey!" Goku said, grinning widely.

"Nice job, Dad." Gohan said, grinning himself. He stood on his own feet.

"Thanks, you too!" Goku said, eating a senzu bean himself.

***

"Well, it appears that Goku has won." Celestia said.

They were in the palace again.

"I knew it!" Rainbow Dash said.

"Y'all put up a show, I must say." Applejack said.

"You two were amazing." Celestia said.

"It was terrible!" Blueblood shouted.

All eyes were on him.

"Outrageous! It was so barbaric, how could you praise them for it!? That monkey could kill us all!" He yelled, pointing at Gohan.

"Hey, that's my son you're talking to." Goku said, stepping in front of Gohan.

"Nephew! Calm yourself!" Celestia yelled.

"No, auntie! These mongrels must leave at once!" Blueblood yelled.

"Now I don't know what you've seen, but my son has saved you from destruction twice. I think you should be thankful that you're still alive." Goku said.

"Blueblood, leave the palace until I tell you to return." Celestia said with a very serious and irritated voice.

Blueblood did just that, mumbling to himself.

"Anyway, how'd you two do those things!?" Rainbow Dash asked.

"Things like what?" Goku and Gohan asked.

"You know, the blasts and whatnot!" Rainbow Dash said.

"Are you willing to teach her, Gohan?" Goku asked.

"To be honest, no. Too dangerous to teach her." Gohan said.

"You said it." Goku said.

"What!? Why!?" Rainbow Dash asked.

"We had to do a plethora of dangerous and life threatening things when we were just toddlers! Not even you could survive so long." Goku bragged.

"Oh yeah? I bet I can!" Rainbow Dash retorted.

"P-Please, let's not be hasty..." Gohan said with an awkward smile, and got in between of Goku and Rainbow Dash.

"Anyway, you two put on a spectacular show. I'm glad we appointed someone of pure heart and amazing strength to be the protector of Equestria." Celestia said.

"Oh, that reminds me. Do I still have to live with the Apples?" Gohan asked.

"It is entirely up to you." Celestia said.

"Sugarcube, as long as you work at the farm from time to time, we don't mind you leaving! Heheh!" Applejack said.

"Really? Then can I go back to my shack?" Gohan asked.

"Yes, you may." Celestia said.

"Alright, Gohan! The tide just turned in your favor, right?" Goku asked.

"I-I guess so." Gohan said.

"We have to show Goku around Ponyville!" Twilight said.

"Okay, my little ponies. I will resume my duties as princess. I'm expecting a letter from you soon, Twilight Sparkle." Celestia said.

"Okay, Princess Celestia!" Twilight said.

"Everyone grab on!" Goku said, putting two fingers to his head.

***

"I need to master teleportation." Twilight said.

They were back in Ponyville.

"Gohan, you and I must race!" Rainbow Dash demanded.

'Uh oh.' Gohan and Twilight thought.

Goku's Visit to Ponyville

"Uh... You'd win, I don't want to waste your time." Gohan said.

"No, you'd totally beat her!" Pinkie Pie said.

"Gohan, you better race me now!" Rainbow Dash said.

"Look, I don't want to lose. You understand, right?" Gohan asked.

"No! Wait, actually..." Rainbow Dash said.

"Besides, I only have about 5 hours left here. He may want to spend the day with his dad." Goku said, putting a hand on Gohan's shoulder.

"Wait, didn't you say 24 hours?" Gohan asked.

"Well, that fight took away a few hours. Don't worry, we've done and I'm sure we'll still be able to do stuff." Goku said.

"Alright... Well, we might as well show you around Ponyville... Which you already know about." Gohan said.

"Oh, you knew I watched you, huh." Goku said.

"I figured it out on day two." Gohan said.

"I knew my son could figure it out! After all, he's the only Saiyan to be a scholar!" Goku joked.

Gohan laughed.

"Well, we should show you around Ponyville!" Applejack said. "I'll take you to Sweet Apple Acres. Maybe you can do farmwork like him!" She joked.

"Okay, I'll get a read on it." Goku said, putting two fingers on his forehead.

"Are you gonna teleport us there or something?" Applejack asked.

"Alright, got a read on two ponies there. Grab on." Goku said. "Are you guys gonna come with?" He asked.

"I guess." Twilight said.

"I have to get back to my cottage a-and feed all my little critters..." Fluttershy said. "Please inform me when you must leave... M-Mr. Goku." She said, trotting away.

"I'll tag along!" Pinkie Pie said.

"I suppose I will come along. But you must change your clothes, Gohan!" Rarity said.

Gohan looked down at his ripped shirt, and laughed.

"I'll come with, maybe my awesomeness will rub off on Goku too." Rainbow Dash bragged.

"Yeah, I guess!" Goku said.

"I'll be at the library. Catch you guys later." Spike said, walking away.

Everyone touched Goku, and they were instantly at Sweet Apple Acres.

Big Mac was bucking apples, and Granny Smith was knitting.

"N-Now who is this tall fellow?" Granny Smith asked.

"Oh hey! You must be the pe- I mean, ponies taking my son in! I'm Goku, who are you?" Goku asked.

"I'm Granny Smith, and- Wait, you're the father of this boy?" Granny Smith asked.

"Yep! Thanks for taking care of my son, Granny Smith." Goku said.

"That's not a problem, sonny. The lad's a huge help here at the farm." Granny Smith said.

"Yeah, but Granny, he's moving back in his old place." Applejack said.

"Aw, but he's still coming down to the farm?" Granny Smith asked.

"Yep, he'll be a good worker." Applejack said.

"Alrighty." Granny Smith said.

"So this here's the farm. Can ya do what Gohan does?" Applejack asked.

"Oh sure, I can do that." Goku said, slamming his fist against the ground, causing every apple to fall off the tree.

This also caused Big Mac to trip.

"H-How did you know he did that?" Applejack asked in surprise.

"How'd you even do that!?" Twilight asked.

"Yeah, how'd you do that AWESOME thing!?" Rainbow Dash asked.

"I just hit the ground hard enough to affect the tree's roots enough to shake the apples off the tree. It's normal, really." Goku said so casually.

"THAT ISN'T NORMAL!" Twilight yelled.

"Alright, calm down." Goku said.

"Let me get my things." Gohan said, going inside and immediately coming out with his heavy suitcase, with a change of clothes.

"Where to next?" He immediately asked.

"OOH! Sugarcube Corner again! We can eat all the sweets we can make!" Pinkie Pie said.

"Alright, I'm down! Who's not coming this time?" Goku asked.

"Me, I gotta pick the crops with Big Mac." Applejack said.

"Alright then, everyone else grab on!" Goku said.

Then, they were at Sugarcube Corner.

***

"Oh man, I think that's gonna be in there for a while." Goku said.

Goku, Gohan and Pinkie Pie had eaten tons of sweets.

"Okay, where to next...?" Goku asked.

"Try my house. It's in the clouds." Rainbow Dash said.

"Okay, so some of you actually have to keep hold of me." Goku said.

"See ya!" Pinkie Pie said.

***

"It's a big house, and it's a cloud too! It's so awesome!" Rainbow Dash said.

"Alright, where to next?" Goku asked.

"Let's try my house, the library." Twilight said.

"Alright, Gohan, Rainbow Dash! Get back here!" Goku said.

"Nah, I'm gonna split. See ya!" Rainbow Dash said.

***

"Books aren't really my thing... But it's Gohan's!" Goku said.

"Oh, you're back." Spike said.

"Alright, I'm going to be busy. See you around!" Twilight said.

"Now for my boutique!" Rarity said.

***

"These fabrics are one of the finest in Equestria!" Rarity explained.

"That's cool." Goku said.

"I even made that extraordinarily heavy gi for your son." Rarity said.

"Oh yeah, I noticed! It's heavier than mine, which is only 100 kilos!" Goku said.

"Really? You two are stronger than I initially thought. Anyhow, I must finish up a dress for a customer. See you later." Rarity said.

"Okay, Gohan. I guess it's time for your old shack?" Goku asked.

"Y-Yeah." Gohan said.

***

"Oh, that's right! I was on Earth and got you something you might enjoy." Goku said, reaching into his pouch of senzu beans, and a capsule.

"What is it? Do mom and the others still hate me?" Gohan asked.

"Sadly, yes. Anyway, it's a gravity chamber!" Goku said, throwing the capsule to reveal the gravity machine.

It was a room, with the Capsule Corp. logo on the side.

Upon entry, a gravity machine was there.

"Bulma told me it goes up to 1000x Earth's gravity. You could do some serious training here!" Goku said.

"Thanks, Dad!" Gohan said.

"I'm going to teach you a new technique." Goku said.

"What is it?" Gohan asked.

"Tenshinhan's Multi-Form technique." Goku said.

"Wait, you know how to use that?" Gohan asked.

"Of course, I mean, Cell used it against me. I mastered it in heaven." Goku said.

"Why are you going to teach me it?" Gohan asked.

"Because it can really help your training, Gohan. Now let's put this away." Goku said, walking outside and pressing a button which put the gravity chamber inside the capsule again.

"Now, let's get to training!" Goku said.

Goku's Final Goodbye

"Alright Gohan!" Goku cheered.

Gohan had mastered the multi-form technique. Not completely, it still halves his power with each copy.

"Yes!" The four Gohans said.

"It took a few hours, but you finally did it!" Goku said.

"Yeah, and- Oh. That's right." The Gohans said as they formed one being again.

"You're leaving soon." Gohan said.

"Oh. That's right. Baba will yell at me if I'm not at the Lookout in about an hour!" Goku said.

"You have to say goodbye to my friends, Dad!" Gohan said.

"I'm already on it. Grab on." Goku said, putting two fingers on his forehead.

***

"Fluttershy!" Gohan called.

"I-I'm here!" Fluttershy said, frantically running out of the kitchen.

"Be at the center of Ponyville." Gohan said, before they teleported away.

Fluttershy was left confused, but left her cottage to do just that.

***

Applejack was in the fields, planting seeds.

Goku and Gohan appeared in front of her.

"Applejack, go to the center of Ponyville." Gohan said before they just teleported away again.

"What?" She asked, but it was too late.

Applejack did as she was told, and started trotting towards Ponyville.

***

"Rarity, I need you to be at the center of Ponyville, now." Gohan said before they teleported again.

"Excuse me, for wha-" Rarity said before realizing Gohan was gone.

She began trotting towards the center of Ponyville.

***

"Rainbow Dash, go to the center of Ponyville, now!" Gohan said before teleporting away.

"Alright, why-" Rainbow Dash said as she laid on her cloud before realizing Gohan left.

She flew towards Ponyville.

***

"Pinkie, get out of that trash can, and I need you to be at the center of Ponyville." Gohan said, before teleporting away.

"Okey dokey lokey!" Pinkie Pie said, hopping towards Ponyville.

***

"Twilight, and Spike if you want to, go to the center of Ponyville, now." Gohan said before teleporting away.

"Uh... Okay, Spike, let's go!" Twilight said.

Spike groaned. "Fine."

***

Already, the Mane 6 and Spike were at the town's center.

They were voicing their final goodbyes to Goku.

"I have to get back to the afterlife, it was fun meeting you all!" Goku said.

"Whenever you come back, just come to us and we'll feed ya!" Applejack joked, and laughed soon after.

Everyone else laughed with her.

"Ah... Yeah... When will you be back?" Pinkie Pie asked.

Goku only looked at Pinkie Pie with his smile. "Hey... Let's not worry about that now." He said.

"So y-you'll be back?" Fluttershy asked.

"I'll try." Goku said.

"Anyway, thanks for taking care of my son for all this time, you guys. I know I say it often, but it means a lot. It was nice to meet you in person, and not through a dead guy." Goku joked.

"It's not a problem!" Rainbow Dash said.

"He's an absolute angel, just like you!" Rarity said.

Goku chuckled at that.

"He will never lose our support." Fluttershy said.

"We'll be at his side for every twist and turn!" Twilight said.

"I'll throw even more parties for him!" Pinkie Pie yelled.

"He's practically part of the Apple family! Don't worry, Mr. Goku." Applejack said.

"I trust you all. After all, the Elements of Harmony have to wielded by some ponies." Goku said.

"Yeah!" Rainbow Dash said.

"And you." Goku said, facing Gohan.

"Yes, Dad?" Gohan asked.

"You better train harder with those. You'll be even stronger than me one day! Well, again." Goku said.

"I will! I won't let you down, Dad!" Gohan said.

"Alright. I'm going back now. Thanks again!" Goku said.

"Dad, wait." Gohan said, facing the ground. Nobody could see his tears.

"What's wrong Gohan?" Goku asked.

He looked back up at Goku. "I'm really going to miss you." Gohan said.

Goku placed a hand on Gohan's shoulder. "You'll meet me in the afterlife, Gohan. Don't worry, I won't stop contacting you." He said with a smile.

"B-But..." Gohan sobbed.

Goku gestured for a hug, and Gohan took it, crying into his shirt.

"I know you don't want me to leave you again because I'm dead, but all you can do is cope." Goku said.

"It's alright, sugarcube. He'll keep watch over ya." Applejack said.

"Yeah, she's not lying." Goku said.

Gohan finally stopped sobbing. He looked up at Goku with tearful eyes.

"Gohan, I won't stop watching over you. Just know I haven't turned on you..." Goku said.

He referenced what happened after the Cell Games.

"Alright. I love you, Dad." Gohan said, wiping his tears.

"I love you too, Gohan. Bye!" Goku said, instant transmissioning away.

"I will never understand how you work Gohan." Rainbow Dash joked.

"How so?" Gohan asked.

"Your dead dad just visited for a day, how is that not confusing enough!?" Rainbow Dash asked.

"I guess." Gohan said.

"Well, what are we to do now?" Twilight asked.

"Why don't we tour my awesome house?" Rainbow Dash asked.

"We can't fly, Rainbow Dash." Twilight said.

"Oh, I know how we can do that!" Gohan said.

"How?" Twilight asked.

Gohan performed the multi-form technique, creating four copies of Gohan.

The others looked in shock.

"Shocked?" The Gohans asked.

"I-I have not seen cloning before, but this is just as good! I guess we can tour Rainbow Dash's house." Twilight said.

"You do that, I'm going home." Spike said, walking away.

"Alright, next stop! Casa de Dash!" Rainbow Dash said as they flew towards Rainbow Dash's house.

Gohan's Life Through Season 2 (Edited)

Gohan had a rocky life through season 2.

Although most of his days were filled with training, it was also filled with the weird events of Equestria.

When Twilight was trying to write a letter to Celestia, she couldn't come up with anything, and feared tardiness. Gohan was dragged into all that.

***

"You want to help me with training?" Gohan asked.

"Sure! Anything I can do for one of my best friends!" Twilight said.

"Can you create weights?" Gohan asked.

"I could just come in that room with you and help." Twilight said.

"Oh no, you shouldn't. Your bones would shatter in there." Gohan said.

"Why? I want to help!" Twilight said.

"Because that room goes up to 1000x this place's gravity! You would die at 10!" Gohan said.

"Oh. Well, I can't create weights, sorry." Twilight said.

"That's alright. I'm heading back in, see you around." Gohan said.

"Don't you need help with anything else?" Twilight asked.

"I'm alright, thanks." Gohan said as he entered the 100x gravity chamber.

"Oh... Alright." Twilight said as she trotted away.

Later.

Gohan and Twilight were supposed to be at a picnic with the rest of the Mane 6.

Twilight was trying to find a way to write Celestia a letter, and Gohan was still training.

Eventually, Celestia had arrived in Ponyville.

Her power level caused Gohan to stop training and investigate.

"Meet me at the library." Celestia said, teleporting to Twilight's Treehouse.

"I'm sorry everypony. I'm going back to magic kindergarten." Twilight said with a sad tone while trotting back home.

"Magic kindergarten!?" The rest of the Mane 6 asked.

Gohan just arrived on the scene.

"What happened?" Gohan asked.

"Twilight's going to get sent to magic kindergarten!" Fluttershy said.

"M-Magic what?" Gohan asked.

"No time for chit-chat, we gotta go!" Rainbow Dash said.

***

There was when Nightmare Night came yet again, and Luna arrived to fix her reputation.

***

"Nightmare Night? You mean when Princess Luna was that Nightmare Moon?" Gohan asked.

He was where the shops are, was talking to Twilight and Spike.

"Yep! Why don't you have a costume?" Twilight asked.

"I-I guess I just didn't know, heh." Gohan said.

"Well... Why are you here?" Twilight asked.

"To buy food." Gohan said.

"How's my outfit?" Twilight asked.

"That's a cool wizard's costume." Gohan said.

"Close enough, somepony actually got it." Twilight said.

"Welcome to the Nightmare Night festival!" Mayor Mare, who was a clown said through a microphone.

Twilight, Spike, and Gohan went to see what the hubbub was about.

"All of our little ponies, who have been out collecting sweets, should follow our friend Zecora to hear the legend of... Nightmare Moon!" Mayor Mare said before cackling.

"The voice might work better if she wasn't dressed like that." Spike said to Twilight.

Twilight giggled in return.

Mayor Mare pointed a hoof at nothing, which turned into an explosion of green dust.

Out of it, came Zecora, wearing a wig with spiders on it. She also wore a Batman cape, but let's not focus on that.

"Follow me. And very soon, you will hear the tale of Nightmare Moon!" Zecora said.

***

After Zecora scared the fillies and Pinkie Pie with the 'scary' tale of Nightmare Moon, Luna arrived on the scene in a carriage.

The ponies, except Gohan, were being scared by the flying carriage.

"ITS NIGHTMARE MOON! RUUUUN!" Pinkie Pie, who was in a chicken costume, yelled.

All of the ponies, even Zecora but except for Twilight, ran.

Gohan stood still.

The carriage arrived at the town, where Gohan and Twilight followed.

Luna, wearing a hood emerged from the carriage, scaring all of the ponies.

She removed it, and lightning flashed with it.

All of the ponies, except for Gohan and Twilight bowed before her.

"Princess Luna!" Twilight said happily.

Spike dragged her down to the ground as if she's bowing.

Gohan walked up to Luna, who in turn walked towards Gohan.

They stood in front of each other with mean eyes.

But Gohan's quickly turned into a cheerful face.

"Hey Princess! How are you!?" Gohan asked, holding his hand out.

"I'm very fine, Son Gohan." Luna whispered as she held her hoof out, shaking Gohan's hand.

"Alright, you have a reason for being here, right?" Gohan asked.

"Indeed." Luna whispered.

"CITIZENS OF PONYVILLE!" She called, very loudly.

Her voice alone was enough to create winds.

"WE HAVE GRACED YOUR VILLAGE WITH OUR TINY PRESENCE! SO THAT YOU MIGHT BEHOLD, THE REAL PRINCESS OF THE NIGHT!" Luna called with a smirk.

"A CREATURE OF NIGHTMARES NO LONGER, BUT INSTEAD, A PONY WHO DESIRES YOUR LOVE LOVE AND ADMIRATION! TOGETHER WE SHALL CHANGE THIS DREADFUL CELEBRATION INTO A GREAT, AND GLORIOUS FEAST!" Luna called, scaring the ponies out of their minds.

"DID YOU HEAR THAT!? NIGHTMARE MOON'S GOING TO FEAST ON US ALL!" Pinkie Pie exclaimed before running away and screaming with the children.

Gohan looked at Pinkie Pie in confusion.

This left Luna confused. "What? No children, no! You no longer have reason to fear us! Screams of delight is what your princess desires, not screams of terror!" Luna said, stomping a hoof on the ground, cracking it.

"Madam Mayor! Thy princess of the night has arrived!" Luna called, beckoning a hoof at Mayor Mare.

This only scared the ponies even more.

Luna became angry at this, and pointed her hoof at another pony, which scared her too.

"What is the matter with you!?" Luna asked, pointing her hoof at others.

This only scared them.

When Luna pointed her hoof at Gohan, he just waved and smiled like it was nothing.

"Fine then! Be that way! We won't even depart with the traditional farewell!" Luna called, beginning to trot away.

Gohan was confused now.

***

Spike's birthday wasn't the best either.

***

Gohan cracked open a boulder full of gems.

"Alright, this can be Spike's present!" Gohan said.

He filled his sack, and waiting for tomorrow.

Tomorrow, he was at Twilight's Treehouse, along with the Mane 6.

"Happy Birthday!" They all said.

All of them, except for Gohan and Twilight stacked them in Spike's arms.

Spike looked confused at the gifts.

"Don't you know that you get presents on your birthday?" Rainbow Dash asked.

"Actually, this is my first birthday in Ponyville. I usually just get one present... From Twilight... Book." Spike said.

Twilight was trotting towards Spike with a book, and stopped in her tracks.

She realized her gift mistake and hid it.

"Well, don't eat it all in one place, but here you go." Gohan said, placing the sack of gems beside Spike.

Spike glanced at the sack. "Is that what I think it is?" He asked, pointing at the sack.

"You might as well open it, along with your other presents." Gohan said.

"Alright! I was right! It's gems!" Spike exclaimed.

Rarity's mouth was agape.

"Gohan dear, I want to invite you the next time we happen to go gem hunting." She said.

"Uh... Alright." Gohan said.

After the party, Spike got immensely greedy, and demanded things from other ponies.

This caused him to turn into a giant dragon.

Despite Ponyville's greatest efforts, they could not stop the ever growing Spike.

Even the Wonderbolts were not able to defeat Spike.

The huge power level and roars got Gohan to leave his gravity chamber and fly towards Ponyville.

Spike had managed to have Rarity in his stash.

"What the... A dragon!?" Gohan asked.

"Not again!" He yelled as he pummeled Spike in the stomach repeatedly.

This subdued Spike for a bit.

Gohan flew up to Spike's face and slapped it.

"Drop it." He demanded.

Spike roared at Gohan in return, who wasn't fazed.

"HELP ME!" Rarity yelled.

"Oh man, that's not good." Gohan said.

"GOHAN! ITS SPIKE!" Twilight yelled.

"Spike? Then that means..." Gohan said.

Spike had traversed up a mountain, and trapped the Wonderbolts and his stash inside a cave.

Gohan quickly followed.

"Spike, I don't know how, but you've really grown! Why are you doing this!?" Gohan yelled.

Spike tried to show that he didn't care by mimicking him.

"That's right! You have nothing to be proud of!" Rarity shouted.

"Stealing everypony's things, terrorize the town, and you dared to use me as a weapon against my own friends! Which is horrible, but I understand since you're a dragon and all! AND THIS!" Rarity yelled, removing her ruined cape.

"THIS IS A CRIME AGAINST FASHON!" Rarity shouted.

This revealed a necklace gem that Spike gave to Rarity.

After a long lecture, remembering memories and painful realizations, Spike ended up turning into a baby again.

"Spike!? You're the rampaging dragon!?" Rarity asked.

***

On Hearth's Warming Eve, Gohan showed a true mastery of swordsmanship, after the play. He even got a sword that night.

***

"A decoy? This actually looks and feels real!" Gohan said, holding a 'decoy' of Commander Hurricane's sword.

It was a sword used for plays, but it was an actual sword.

It looked very similar to Gohan's from when he trained under Piccolo.

"Yeah, they said we could use it if we want. Nopony was dangerous enough to even hold it." Rainbow Dash said.

Gohan wielded the sword majestically.

He swung it down, turned a little bit, and swung it down again with one hand in rapid succession, while balancing on one foot many times.

"Oh my! Gohan, are you a swordsman by any chance?" Rarity asked.

"I did use a sword when I was four... This looks exactly like it! Even the sheath is the same!" Gohan said.

"I think you can keep it. It looks awesome, anyway." Rainbow Dash said.

"OOH! Cut this pie into eighths!" Pinkie Pie said, throwing an apple pie into the air.

Gohan jumped up and did it instantly, with a perfect cut.

The pie landed in a plate Pinkie Pie held.

"Woo hoo! Now we each have a slice for the trip home!" Pinkie Pie said.

The Mane 6, Spike and Gohan laughed to this.

***

When Applejack left to work at a cherry farm, Gohan was stuck in Ponyville with a nasty cold, so he didn't follow the Mane 6.

For hearts and hooves day, Gohan didn't have a Valentine, but spent the day making cards for the whole town.

***

"Thanks!" Many ponies said as Gohan handed out cards.

Handing it to some of his friends was a little difficult.

In fact, a few of them thought Gohan was actually coming on to them.

Rarity thought so, and asked Gohan if he had a crush.

"No. I don't want to fall in love with a pony." Gohan said.

"Oh. I thought you and Spike were after me for a moment." Rarity chuckled nervously.

"Well... Happy hearts and hooves day." Gohan said, flying out of the Boutique.

Even Fluttershy and Rainbow Dash thought the same thing.

"Y-You don't like me in that way, do you?" Fluttershy asked.

"No! Rarity asked the same thing, but I'm not interested in loving a pony." Gohan said.

"That's a relief. I didn't want to turn you down and make you feel bad." Fluttershy chuckled.

"Alright. See you!" Gohan said before flying away.

"What? Are you coming on to me?" Rainbow Dash asked.

Gohan groaned. "Not again... No, I am not because I am not interested in loving a pony." He explained.

"Good. I had my eye on you just in case." Rainbow Dash said.

"In case what? I like a pony?" Gohan asked.

"N-None of your business!" Rainbow Dash retorted as she blushed and flew away.

Gohan chuckled in response.

***

When Fluttershy was taught to be assertive, she dished out the most painful insult on Gohan.

***

Gohan witnessed Fluttershy scream at a pony, and he ran.

He flew over to her.

"Fluttershy? What happened?" Gohan asked.

"None of your BUSINESS." Fluttershy said.

"I-I'm sorry if I eavesdropped on something personal." Gohan said.

"Why? So you could walk all over the shy pony you see? Well New Fluttershy isn't letting THAT happen. Now get out of my way!" Fluttershy yelled.

Gohan was in the air, and was NOT in Fluttershy's way.

"Uh... Are you going to be flying this way?" Gohan asked.

"No, I wanted you to BUCK OFF!" Fluttershy yelled.

Gohan was offended by the statement.

"What did I do!?" He retorted.

"I know what you're thinking. 'OOH! Poor doormat Fluttershy can't move me, I might as well get in her way!' But New Fluttershy is telling you to MOVE!" Fluttershy yelled.

"C-Can you calm down? Are you stressed or something? I don't think you're a pushover, Fluttershy!" Gohan said.

"Says the 'protector of Equestria' who's a TAILLESS MONKEY!" Fluttershy yelled.

'That's what Frieza called us.' Gohan thought.

"W-What happened to you, Fluttershy!? Why are you so mean!?" Gohan retorted.

"Iron Will taught me how to be assertive!" Fluttershy retorted.

"There's a difference between being assertive and being a HUGE jerk, Fluttershy!" Gohan retorted.

"Says the brainless fighter." Fluttershy scoffed.

"You're so dumb that you let your father die!" She said with a smirk.

That was the heavy hit.

Gohan's anger grew immensely, but it paled in comparison to the major sadness he felt.

"Y-You... Think I killed my dad?" Gohan formed. He barely said it.

"No duh! No wonder he's dead! You killed him!" Fluttershy said.

Gohan's face showed how sad he just became.

Gohan had tears rolling down his face.

"I-If you... T-Then... Fine!" Gohan retorted before flying away and crying.

"Pfft. Baby." Fluttershy said.

***

You can tell the depression soon followed.

You know, the extreme wailing in his shack.

They did make up after that, though.

***

"G-Gohan?" Fluttershy asked, knocking on the door of the gravity chamber.

Gohan was inside of it, but he wasn't training. He was trying to clear his thoughts in the gravity.

Hearing the knock, he lost his meditative state.

Gohan turned the gravity machine off and opened the door.

He showed no emotion when he saw Fluttershy, but he was definitely scared that she would keep talking about his past.

Even though Gohan never told anyone about that part.

"U-Um... Hi..." Fluttershy mumbled.

"Hello Fluttershy." Gohan said.

"I-I came and wanted to say... I-I'm sorry for... What I did earlier..." Fluttershy said, hiding her face behind her mane.

"I didn't mean any of it! I swear!" She immediately said.

"What you said really hurt, but it's for a completely different reason. But, I forgive you. I just want to know why you changed." Gohan said.

Fluttershy sighed in relief. "Good... I attended something that taught me to be a real meanie." She said.

"Well, it's great to have you back." Gohan said, gesturing for a hug.

They hugged.

***

Gohan had actually went with Spike so he could figure out his heritage.

It did not end well for the other dragons.

***

At Twilight's Treehouse...

"He just wants to learn about his heritage. I mean, I want to learn more about mine, but it's all I know." Gohan said.

"It's too dangerous!" Twilight said.

"Come on, Twilight! I need answers!" Spike said.

"And he's the perfect bodyguard in case I may get mauled!" He added.

"Twilight, trust me. He will be alright." Gohan said.

"Ugh, fine." Twilight said.

"Really!?" Spike asked.

"Okay! Pack up, Spike. I'm taking you on a trip to a place called Auschwitz!" Gohan said.

Don't take that seriously.

"Awesome!" Spike said.

***

Gohan flew Spike to where the dragons lived.

Gohan brought his sword, while Spike carried some essentials.

"This is it!" Gohan said, landing gently.

Spike jumped off Gohan's back. "Sweet!" He said.

Spike tried to traverse up a mountain, but quickly tripped and slid down.

"I guess I'll take you up there too." Gohan said, laughing awkwardly.

Gohan and Spike reached the top of where Spike wanted to go.

At the top, they saw many dragons. One breathed fire towards Gohan and Spike.

Gohan used his ki to keep it from coming, but Spike hid behind a rock.

"Don't worry, I'll be around." Gohan said.

Spike peeked from behind the rock to look down and find teenage dragons.

"Let's go down there!" Spike said, pointing at the teenagers.

"Okay." Gohan said, carrying Spike on his back again.

They made way for the teenagers.

The teenage dragons were all wrestling.

"Hello everyone!" Gohan said as they landed.

Spike jumped off his back to talk to the dragons.

"Uh hi. I'm Spike." Spike said.

The teenagers stopped wrestling to look at the two for a moment.

There was a weird thing they never saw and a baby dragon.

"You sure your name is Spike and not SHRIMP?" A teenage dragon asked.

They all laughed.

"Hey, hey, hey! Let's all be nice with each other." Gohan said.

"I'm Spike! I'm sure about that!" Spike retorted.

"You sure? It's more like PEEWEE to me." Another dragon said.

The other dragons laughed.

'This can't be my age group.' Gohan thought.

Gohan sensed a few presences behind him.

It was Rarity, Rainbow Dash and Twilight dresses as a terrible dragon.

"Spike, I'll be back in a second." Gohan said, flying away.

The dragons looked at Gohan in confusion. "How did your friend fly?" One asked.

"Beats me." Spike said.

"Alright guys, cough it up. What are you three doing?" Gohan asked.

"How'd you- Nevermind. We came to check on Spike." Twilight said.

"Don't worry about it, he's with me. I would leave if I were you, they don't seem to nice around here." Gohan said.

"Yeah, I'm going to go and take a nap." Rainbow Dash said.

"Just make sure Spike comes back in one piece!" Twilight said.

"You have my word." Gohan said.

"Thanks. Bye!" Twilight said before teleporting away.

'Okay, that's out of the picture.' Gohan said, flying back to Spike.

Already, they were making more fun of Spike.

"I'd say your a PART pony!" A dragon said, cornering Spike.

"That's enough!" Gohan said as he landed.

"What are YOU going to do about it, huh?" One of the dragons asked.

"You don't want to know. Really." Gohan said.

"Who's this? Your monkey friend?" A dragon asked.

"Close enough. I'm Gohan. Now, let's treat each other fairly." Gohan said.

"Let's prove that 'Spike' here's a dragon. WHOS UP FOR A BELCHING CONTEST!?" A dragon asked.

Three dragons burped, or breathed fire, and the third one had the nastiest one.

"Think you can top that?" A dragon asked Spike.

Spike tried, but ended up burping a letter out.

A dragon read the letter, and laughed. "Get this, guys! Spike's friends with a nabby pabby pony princess!" He said.

The other dragons laughed as a result.

"Let's jump off the cliff! Whoever creates the biggest splash wins!" A dragon yelled.

All the dragons jumped off, and Spike tried to as well, but belly flopped.

"He's no pony, he survived a belly flop like that!" A dragon said.

The other dragons applauded Spike.

Gohan gave his cheers as well.

Later, they held a 'ceremony' for Spike, crowning him as rookie dragon.

Then the dragons partied 'dragon style', which was eating a ton of gems.

Gohan looked on in fear. 'Spike wouldn't end up like them, would he?' He asked himself.

Eventually, they all flew to a pheonix's nest, where Spike was being pushed into getting the parents to flee while the others grabbed the eggs.

Spike was trying to avoid it.

"Seriously, you guys have no respect!" Gohan shouted.

This caused the dragons to stop talking, cheering or laughing.

"This little guy's a baby, and you're making him do things that's too much! I mean, you guys were probably in the same place as him!" Gohan shouted.

"Well, so what? We can do what we want!" A dragon yelled.

"That doesn't mean you have to bully a BABY of all dragons, into harming nature!" Gohan said.

"Why are you talking anyway? You're a shrimp like him!" A dragon said.

"I'm talking because you're not helping my friend, when all he wants to do is find out his heritage!" Gohan said.

"This is his heritage! We do pranks and stuff like this all the time!" A dragon said.

"Spike, do you really want them to take the parents' children?" Gohan asked.

"Uh... No... But it's all part of being a dragon!" Spike said.

"Spike, just because you're a dragon, doesn't mean you have to act like one. I mean, look at me! I'm a Saiyan, but I'm not looking to pick fights or conquer planets, like my race did. Why? Because it's wrong." Gohan said.

"I guess you're right." Spike said.

"Hold on! He still needs to do this!" A dragon said.

"I don't want to." Spike said.

"What did you just say?" The same dragon asked, walking slowly up to Spike.

Gohan quickly stepped in front of Spike. "He said no." He said.

"Not if I have ANYTHING to say about it!" The dragon said, swinging a fist.

Gohan caught the fist, shocking the other dragons. "Leave, before I do something bad." He said.

"Like what?" The dragon asked.

Gohan took a deep breath. He swung the dragon around and threw him back to the mountains.

The other dragons looked in shock. "How could you do that to our friend!?" They asked, all going for Gohan.

Spike cowered and ran to a bush in fear.

Gohan punched one in the stomach, broke another's arm and knocked out another with a powerful kick.

They all fell to the ground.

"H-How!?" The dragons asked.

"Go. I won't stop here if you stay." Gohan said.

The dragons quickly flew away in fear.

"Thanks Gohan." Spike said.

"Not a problem. Now let's get home, Twilight's worried sick." Gohan said, carrying Spike again.

***

Gohan even helped to train Fluttershy for the Rainy Season.

***

Fluttershy had just ran home, because of her pathetic wingpower.

"Come on, Gohan! Show them how much wingpower you have!" Rainbow Dash said.

"Uh... Okay." Gohan said.

'Just suppress yourself.' He thought.

Gohan flew fast by accident.

"A-A 52.8." Rainbow Dash said.

'Oh no.' Gohan thought.

"That was awesome!" Rainbow Dash said.

"R-Really?" Gohan asked.

"You could help us!" Rainbow Dash said.

"No, I'll be there as a last resort. I'll go check on Fluttershy." Gohan said, flying away.

"See ya! Now, let's get to training!" Rainbow Dash said.

***

"Fluttershy?" Gohan asked, knocking on the door to her cottage.

Fluttershy opened the door. "Hello. What brings you here?" She asked.

"Because of what happened with the wingpower. You're usually faster than that, what happened?" Gohan asked.

Fluttershy explained her problem at Cloudsdale, and how she wasn't great, and the fillies laughing at her.

"Hm... I could train you to be better." Gohan said.

"R-Really? B-But your training is too intense!" Fluttershy said.

"I'll tone it down a million notches for you, but we need to fix something before you tackle physical training." Gohan said.

"W-What?" Fluttershy asked.

"Follow me." Gohan said, flying away.

***

"Alright, we need to fix this mental problem. We need to push the thought of that out." Gohan said.

They were at a lake, where there were no other ponies, and the background was calming.

"H-How will we do that?" Fluttershy asked.

"We're going to try meditating, and pushing those thoughts out with thoughts that build you up." Gohan said.

"H-How will we do it?" Fluttershy asked.

"Well, with no surroundings to bother you, it can be a walk in the park. But you have to calm yourself instead of thinking." Gohan said.

"How?" Fluttershy asked.

"I'll explain as we go along." Gohan said.

"Close your eyes. Focus on your breath. Don't think of anything else, but that rhythm. Don't even judge it." He said.

Fluttershy did just that.

Eventually, she didn't realize that she couldn't think about anything but her breathing.

'Alright.' Gohan thought.

After about a half hour, Fluttershy was no longer in a meditative state.

She blinked a few times.

"Nice job. You lasted a long time for a beginner." Gohan said.

"R-Really?" Fluttershy asked.

"I want you to remember that feeling when you're feeling down, it will boost you." Gohan said.

"Yay." Fluttershy said.

"And now it's time for the real part, physical training!" Gohan said.

"Oh. Right..." Fluttershy said.

***

Fluttershy was doing very slow wing push ups.

"Come on! Faster! You're too slow!" Gohan pestered. He was trying to get Fluttershy to use that feeling to forget what Gohan's insults were.

It worked, and Fluttershy paid no attention to Gohan's countless insults.

She finally did 30 of the push ups.

"There you go. Take a break." Gohan said.

"Phew!... Why did you insult me?" Fluttershy asked in between pants.

"Putting your meditation to the test." Gohan said.

"Oh. It worked!" Fluttershy said.

"Yeah! You'll be flying with everyone else in no time!" Gohan said.

***

Gohan didn't know that the Cutie Mark Crusaders had kind of ruined his reputation with Gabby Gums until he read his column.

***

"Who wrote this? Gabby Gums?" Gohan asked.

"Yeah, its cool!" Rainbow Dash said.

They were in the skies.

"I've never heard of this thing, but it's hurtful! It even said something mean about the mayor!" Gohan said.

"But it's cool!" Rainbow Dash said.

"Gabby Gums wrote me down as a monkey with nothing better to do than train. I have a social life, but this Gabby Gums just made everyone think I'm antisocial!" Gohan said.

"Suck it up." Rainbow Dash said.

"You wouldn't be saying that if YOU were in the paper." Gohan said.

***

That was most of Season 2 anyway. Now, let's get to where Gohan and his friends are now!

Cadence's Wedding Pt. 1

Gohan was training his swordsmanship skills in the gravity chamber as his friends had a picnic.

Twilight received a message from Celestia about a wedding with her brother, Shining Armor, and "Princess Mi Amore Cadenza".

The Mane 6 were tasked with things like decorations, party planning, birds singing, a Sonic Rainboom, fashion, planning, and catering.

Gohan was tasked with meeting with Shining Armor for some reason.

Rainbow Dash knocked on the door of Gohan's gravity chamber, as they needed to get on a train.

"Gohan! Get out here!" Rainbow Dash yelled.

Gohan came out with his sword in hand. "Yeah?" He asked.

"We have a wedding to get to in Canterlot! Grab your clothes, and we'll leave in a jiffy!" She said.

"Uh... Okay!" Gohan said, still confused.

Since it was a wedding, he grabbed only one extra gi and his formal clothes.

He packed his suitcase with a few bits as well.

Gohan put his sword back in it's sheath, which was tied to his back. He forgot to leave it.

***

The Mane 6 and Gohan were on a train to Canterlot!

"Uh... Gohan? What's with the sword?" Applejack asked.

"Oh! I forgot to leave it! Ugh. Sorry." Gohan said.

"Who knows, maybe we need protection?" Rarity said.

"I don't know, heheh." Gohan said.

Then, he noticed there was a pink forcefield around Canterlot.

"That may explain that forcefield around Canterlot." He said, pointing out the window.

A pink force field was around Canterlot.

"Huh. Wonder why that's there." Pinkie Pie said.

"Protection." Gohan said.

Then everyone started laughing at the obvious answer.

When they arrived in Canterlot, many guards were at Canterlot station.

"What's with the guards?" Rainbow Dash asked.

"I'm sure they're just taking extra precautions. A royal wedding should be kept away from the strangest ponies." Rarity said.

Pinkie Pie sneezed confetti.

"Well, let's get going! We have work to do!" Rarity said, trotting away with the Mane 6.

"And YOU have a big brother to go congratulate." Applejack said to Twilight.

"Yeah, congratulate. And give him a piece of my mind." Twilight said, which left the others confused.

"I have to go talk to him too." Gohan said, following Twilight.

***

Twilight was walking towards her brother, talking to herself. Gohan followed.

Her brother, Shining Armor, was commanding the guards to perform their duties.

"I've got something to say to you, mister!" Twilight called.

As soon as they heard Twilight, they were ready to defend.

"Twily!" Shining Armor said, taking off his helmet and running down to greet Twilight and Gohan.

"I've missed you kid! How was the train ride? I-" Shining Armor said, before he realized Twilight was staring daggers into him.

"How dare you not tell me in person that you were getting married!? I'm your sister for pony's sake!" Twilight said.

"It's not my fault! Princess Celestia has requested a major increase in security. Didn't you see all the guards at the train station?" Shining Armor asked.

"Yeah, there's a big wedding coming up! Maybe you HEARD about it!" Twilight said as she trotted away and stopped at a puddle.

Gohan smiled awkwardly at Twilight.

"It has nothing to do with the wedding. A threat has been made against Canterlot. We don't know who's responsible for it, but Princess Celestia has requested that I provide additional protection." Shining Armor said, walking to his little sister.

Shining Armor raised her head with a hoof.

"This, you need to see." He said.

Shining Armor proceeded to shoot an extra force field from his horn, but it took a lot out of him, and it gave him a headache.

He and Twilight began to trot up the stairs. Gohan followed.

"The burden of keeping Canterlot safe rests squarely on my shoulders. The task at hand has been my top priority." Shining Armor said.

They all stopped on a small bridge above ground.

"Okay, I get it. You have to protect Canterlot with a huge force field that only you can conjure up. But still! How could you not tell me that you were getting married? Am I not that important to you anymore?" Twilight asked, sadness evident.

"Hey. You're my little sister. Of course you're important to me. But I'd understand if you didn't want to be my best mare now." Shining Armor said.

Then she perked up.

"You want me to be your best mare?" Twilight asked excitedly.

"Well, yeah!" Shining Armor said.

"I'd be honored!" Twilight said as they hugged.

"But I'm still ticked that you're marrying somepony I don't even know! Who even is 'Princess Mi Amore Cadenza'?" Twilight said.

"Twily, Princess Mi Amore Cadenza is Cadence. Your old foalsitter!" Shining Armor said.

"Cadence? You mean the best foalsitter in the history of foalsitters!?" Twilight asked.

"You tell me, she was your foalsitter." Shining Armor said.

Twilight described how much of a great foalsitter Cadence was.

Gohan couldn't help but smile.

"You're marrying Cadence!" Twilight sang as she hopped around.

Then, Cadence appeared.

"I hope I'm not interrupting anything important?" Cadence said.

Gohan felt a seriously big ki from Cadence.

'She doesn't hide her strength, I guess.' He thought.

It was rather... Dark.

Twilight tried performing a ritual dance with Cadence, as they were best friends.

But Cadence just looked in confusion.

"What are you doing?" Cadence asked.

"Cadence it's me! Twilight!" Twilight said.

"Uh huh." Cadence said as she trotted past Twilight.

"Hello, Son Gohan." Cadence said.

"O-Oh! Hello, Princess Mi Amore Cadenza." Gohan said, immediately bowing.

"That's good, I didn't need to tell him." Cadence said.

"Oh that's right! Gohan, we've heard a lot about you. You've saved Equestria from Discord!" Shining Armor said, hugging Cadence again.

Gohan chuckled nervously.

"I wouldn't like to talk about it." He said.

"I need to get back to my station. Cadence will be around to monitor you guys. Son Gohan, come with me." Shining Armor said, trotting away.

Gohan quickly followed.

Twilight and Gohan did not feel a good vibe from Cadence.

***

"There's a reason you were invited, Son Gohan." Shining Armor said.

"J-Just Gohan is fine, Shining Armor." Gohan said.

"Okay. You were invited for... Security reasons. You see, you were already with Twilight about the threat, correct?" Shining Armor asked.

"Yes, sir." Gohan said.

"Well, I've been told you can sense irregular powers. Or powerful ponies. Either way, you should contact me if you feel anything like that. If worst comes to worst, I will require you to fight." Shining Armor said.

"I will sir. Do princesses count when the powers are great?" Gohan asked.

"No. Unless it's spiked up too crazy, then you should contact me." Shining Armor said.

"So, essentially I am a bodyguard?" Gohan asked.

"Yes. If anything were to happen to me, or Cadence, or your friends and whatnot, you'll take care of it." Shining Armor said.

"Anything else, sir?" Gohan asked.

"Just relax while you're here. If you would like, you could teach the guards a thing or two. You seem to be a swordsman." Shining Armor said.

"Y-Yeah." Gohan said, grabbing the handle.

"Alright, I have things to do. See you later, Gohan." Shining Armor said, trotting away.

Gohan wanted to tell Shining Armor about Cadence's weird power, and how it kept rising.

But, it would offend him if he had doubts about his wife.

Cadence's Wedding Pt. 2 (edited)

Twilight saw how mean Cadence was acting towards her friends. Also, they were blind to it!

I mean, the hell, Cadence!

She threw perfectly good food in the trash, which dying foals in whatever the equivalent of Africa is in Equestria, she absolutely detested Rarity's dresses, she hated Pinkie's energy in general, and oh my Lord, the list goes on.

How the fuck does only one pony see through the bullshit!?

Anyway, let's get to the whole group.

They were at a shop, drinking some random drinks.

Twilight voiced her concerns about Cadence, and everyone ridiculed her.

But...

"I don't doubt your concerns, Twilight." Gohan said.

"What!?" The Mane 6 asked.

Twilight had very clear suspicions of Cadence, and so did Gohan.

"If you two were best friends, I don't see how she could have forgotten you." Gohan said.

"I also noticed that her power remains on the stronger side, instead of keeping it down. It's as if... She's always ready for attack. Also, it feels dark instead of lively." Gohan noted.

"I think the two of you are crazy." Applejack said.

Gohan sighed.

"We'll have to figure this out ourselves." He said.

Twilight already left.

***

Twilight came to Shining Armor, who was dressed up.

"Hey Twilight! Your big brother's looking good! Don't you think?" Shining Armor asked.

Twilight just looked at him with sad eyes.

"Everything okay?" Shining Armor asked.

"We need to talk. I think you're making a big-"

"AHEM." Cadence interrupted.

"Oh hi, sweetie." Shining Armor said.

Gohan came into the room.

"Hey Gohan." Shining Armor said.

"Can I speak to you for a moment, dear?" Cadence asked.

"Better see what she wants." Shining Armor said, trotting to Cadence in another room.

Twilight and Gohan looked at each other, and nodded.

Gohan could hear the conversation, but Twilight went for a closer look.

"I told you I don't like your outfit!" Cadence said.

"It was my favorite uncle's!" Shining Armor said.

"I don't care. Are you disagreeing with me?" Cadence asked.

"Well, I guess I am!" Shining Armor said.

"You must be having a headache again, let me help." Cadence said.

"No, I don't- Argh..." Shining Armor said.

Cadence was seemingly performing a mind control spell on Shining Armor.

Gohan felt and heard the whole thing.

Twilight saw the whole thing.

The two looked to each other.

Then, they high tailed it.

***

Twilight and Gohan rushed to the rest of the Mane 6.

"Guys! My brother is in-" Twilight said, before realizing they were dressed up.

"What are you-"

"Can you believe it?" Fluttershy interrupted, showing her dress.

"We're going to be Princess Mi Amore Cadenza's new bridesmaids! And Gohan, you're part of the groomsmen!" She said.

"New bridesmaids? What happened to her OLD bridesmaids?" Twilight asked.

"And what's a groomsman?" Gohan asked.

"She didn't say, but she would love, love, love it if we filled in for them. Oh, and it's the same as a bridesmaid." Applejack said.

"It's because we've been working so hard, and everything." Rarity said.

The rest of them began to compliment each other's dresses, pointing out that Twilight was wrong.

Twilight already began to walk away in defeat.

Gohan looked back at her, and felt terrible.

***

All of the ponies involved in the wedding were rehearsing. Even Gohan, with his sword.

Twilight was missing.

But, she burst through the doors.

"I'm here, and I'm not going to stand next to her! And neither should you!" Twilight said.

Gohan looked back at her.

'She didn't give up!' He thought.

Shining Armor wasn't happy with the comment.

"I'm sorry, I don't know why she's acting like this." He said to Cadence.

"Maybe we should just ignore her." Cadence said.

"You have to listen to me!" Twilight shouted.

"Oh goodness! Are you okay?" Fluttershy asked.

"I'm fine." Twilight said.

"You sure about that?" Applejack asked.

Twilight pushed Applejack away with her magic.

"I've got something to say! She's evil!" Twilight said, pointing a hoof at Cadence.

"Yeah!" Gohan said, adding flame to the fire.

Shining Armor came to Cadence's defense quickly.

The other ponies were surprised.

"She's been terrible to my friends," Twilight said, teleporting behind Cadence.

She walked closer to Cadence, who backed away.

"She's definitely done something with her bridesmaids, and Gohan and I saw her cast a spell on my brother which made him go-" Twilight said, mimicking the screwed up head.

Or cuckoo crazy.

Cadence acted confused, but Twilight stared daggers into her soul.

Cadence began to cry like a total bitch.

'Oh no.' Gohan thought.

"Why are you doing this to me!?" She cried, running away.

"Because you're evil!" Twilight said, teleporting after Cadence.

"EVIL! And if I don't stop you're gonna ruin my brother's life!" Twilight yelled.

The other ponies stared at Twilight in shock.

Shining Armor was not happy at all.

He walked up to Twilight angrily.

She cowered...

"Do you want to know why my eyes went" screwed up head? " Shining Armor asked.

"With the protection spell, I've been getting terrible migraines. She hasn't been casting spells on me! She's been using her magic to heal me!" He said.

"Shining Armor, she has controlled you well, but two witness testimonies contradict that!" Gohan said, pointing at Shining Armor.

"What?" Shining Armor asked.

"Not Gohan too..." Rarity said.

"We were there at that time. You two were arguing about your favorite uncle's outfit, and how she didn't like it! She silenced you by casting a spell, ending the conversation there!" Gohan said.

"Yeah, she's evil!" Twilight said.

"That's not true! Why would she even do that!?" Shining Armor asked.

"There are too many loopholes for you two to make that claim." Celestia said, also a bit angry.

"I'm afraid not!" Gohan said.

Twilight didn't really know what to respond with, so she really didn't add any more.

"Tell me this: Would someone crowned as the Princess of Love have a dark energy? Would she argue with her soon to be husband with something as petty as his clothing?" Gohan asked.

"You're speaking nonsense!" Shining Armor yelled.

"Cadence has no dark energy, she's pure as ever!" He yelled, inching closer to Gohan.

Gohan wasn't fazed.

"You're telling the one being in Equestria that can sense life forms that she doesn't have a dark energy? Especially with the way she acts?" He asked.

"Then you're lying!" Shining Armor yelled.

Gohan gave him an unamused face.

"You can't be serious... Okay, it's clear as day that you'll do anything to defend Cadence, but what happened last night? She hated your outfit, and hated the fact that you disagreed with her!" He claimed.

"She was helping me with my migraine! The reason why she's been acting crazy is because she's had to plan the wedding, replace the bridesmaids and groomsmen with your friends because of malicious intent, and she's been treating my migraines!" Shining Armor countered horribly.

"How does that give anypony the moral high ground to act so bitter?" Twilight asked, trying to chip in.

"She isn't acting bitter, YOU are! She cares about me, Twilight! Something YOU don't care about!" Shining Armor yelled.

"B-But I-" Twilight tried to respond.

"Now if you'll excuse me, I have to go comfort my bride. And you can forget about being my best mare!" Shining Armor said, trotting away.

"In fact, if I were you, I wouldn't show up to the wedding at all." Shining Armor said.

"Hey, don't you leave yet! I'm not done making my case!" Gohan yelled.

"You shouldn't, either! To both!" Shining Armor yelled.

"Well, I clearly won the argument." Gohan said to himself.

The rest of the Mane 6 trotted away. "Come on y'all, let's go comfort the princess." Applejack said.

They all had mean faces towards Twilight and Gohan.

"You have a lot to think about." Celestia said, trotting away.

"Twilight." Gohan said.

Twilight looked back at Gohan with tearful eyes.

"...Don't give up. We can help your brother, I know it. He needs more than the truth." Gohan said.

"I don't think we're right anymore." Twilight said, trotting towards the stairs.

"But-" "-Its all a coincidence, let's end it!" Twilight yelled.

It was too late. Twilight gave up.

Gohan was left alone with saving Shining Armor from... Whoever Cadence must be.

"I could've gained a sister, but I lost a brother instead!" Twilight said, laying on the stairs, crying.

Gohan walked and sat by her side. He knew Cadence was acting out of turn, she was the princess of love.

Acting mean is not in her nature.

Cadence appeared again.

She patted Twilight's forehead.

"I'm sorry!" Twilight said with tearful eyes.

Cadence's eyes turned from sincere to angry.

"You will be." She said, using her magic to trap Twilight and Gohan in a green fire.

"What the heck!?" Gohan asked.

The fire lowered Twilight and Gohan to an unknown place.

***

Gohan looked around to see that they were in a crystal cave.

Twilight was scared.

"What happened!?" Twilight asked.

Gohan sensed another ki beside him, and threw a ki blast at a crystal.

The blast revealed... Cadence?

"Princess?" Gohan asked.

"You!" Twilight yelled, running at Cadence.

"No, wait!" Cadence yelled.

Gohan moved in front of Cadence, shielding her from Twilight.

"That must be the real Princess Mi Amore Cadenza!" Gohan said.

"Yes, it's me Twilight!" Cadence said.

"How do I know!?" Twilight asked, horn ready to attack.

Cadence performed the dance they always performed when Twilight was a child.

"C-Cadence!?" Twilight asked, hugging the real Cadence.

"I've missed you Twilight. But we're in trouble!" Cadence said.

"That fake is going to marry Shining Armor!" Twilight said.

"Hold on, you're injured. Take this." Gohan said, sparing a cup of energy for Cadence.

"Thank you. Y-You must be Son Gohan. I've heard many things about you." Cadence said.

"Not now, I think the ceremony's happening soon, I sense many ponies up there." Gohan said, pointing to the ceiling.

"Oh no! We won't make it in time!" Cadence said.

***

'Cadence' was trotting to her mind controlled 'husband', Shining Armor.

The music was playing.

***

"It's about to happen!" Gohan said.

"We won't make it in time!" Cadence said.

"Oh yes we will!" Gohan said, throwing a ki blast at the ceiling.

It didn't do anything.

"I'm not done yet!" Gohan said, cupping his hands together at his side.

"I have to use a lot more to take this down!" He said.

"What are you- Oh!" Twilight said.

"Ka..." Gohan said.

'Cadence' was already trotting up the stairs.

"Me..." Gohan said.

'Cadence' was at Shining Armor's side.

"Ha..." Gohan said.

Celestia was saying a few words.

"Me..." Gohan said.

"You may now kiss the bride." Celestia said.

"HA!" Gohan yelled, blasting the ceiling with the Kamehameha wave.

The immense beam burst through the floor, and through the ceiling of where the wedding took place.

The ponies looked in shock.

Only Shining Armor didn't respond.

As the beam died down, the dust cleared, and revealed Gohan, Twilight and the real Cadence.

'Cadence' hadn't noticed the real Cadence or Gohan.

"Oh, why does she keep doing this to me!?" 'Cadence' cried.

"Because this is not your wedding!" Cadence yelled as Gohan jumped up to the floor, carrying Twilight and Cadence.

Everyone was left confused.

Cadence's Wedding Pt. 3

'Cadence' looked in shock as the real Cadence was there.

"But how did you escape my bridesmaids!?" 'Cadence' asked.

"What bridesmaids?" The three asked.

"Clever, but you're still too late!" 'Cadence' said.

"I don't understand, how can there be two of them!?" Applejack asked.

"She's a changeling! She transforms into the ponies you love and gains power from the love you give them." Cadence said.

'Cadence''s eyes were angry and glowing green.

Gohan felt a massive ki surge.

She transformed into who she really was, Queen Chrysalis. A changeling.

The transformation itself created winds.

Chrysalis cackled.

"Right you are, princess. And it's QUEEN of the changelings, and it is up to me to find food for my subjects." She said.

"Equestria has more love than any place I've ever encountered." Chrysalis said as she trotted down the stairs.

"My changelings will eat it, and receive more power than we have ever dreamed of!" She said.

"Not on my watch!" Gohan yelled, jumping in front of Chrysalis, and held his sword in both hands.

"We will rule all of Equestria!" Chrysalis said.

"No. You won't." Celestia said.

"Wait, don't!" Gohan yelled.

"You may have stopped Shining Armor from performing his spell, but you have foolishly revealed your true self!" Celestia yelled as she and Chrysalis clashed their horns.

Celestia flew up.

"I will protect my subjects from you!" She said as she blasted Chrysalis.

Chrysalis also blasted Celestia.

After a long struggle, Chrysalis won and wounded Celestia greatly.

"Princess Celestia!" Twilight yelled.

"It seems Shining Armor's love was more than I thought. But now I am even more powerful than Princess Celestia!" Chrysalis yelled.

Gohan kicked Chrysalis, ending her 'victory'.

"Who dares...?" She asked.

"You may be tougher than the princess, but you've got a new challenge that's impossible to overcome!" Gohan said.

Princess Celestia sent the Mane 6 to get the Elements of Harmony.

"You impudent little- You're kidding, right? I am stronger than Princess Celestia! What are you, her underling?" Chrysalis asked.

"No, I'm my father's son! And protector of Equestria!" Gohan said with pride.

He dashed at Chrysalis.

Gohan and Chrysalis fought, creating shockwaves and magic/ki explosions.

The other ponies ran out of the place.

Gohan threw many ki blasts, which Chrysalis got either hit by or blocked with her magic.

"T-This is impossible! You can't be stronger than Celestia... Or me!" Chrysalis yelled.

When Gohan swung his sword, Chrysalis blocked with her horn.

Gohan and Chrysalis were parrying constantly.

Over the course of battle, Chrysalis had been gaining strength. Shining Armor's love provided said strength.

However, Gohan remained to be the stronger one.

"What's wrong? What happened to ruling Equestria?" He taunted.

She bucked Gohan as hard as she could, but she was still not evenly matched.

Gohan knew she was getting stronger by the moment, and wanted to know her limits.

Since he felt the Mane 6 in danger, he couldn't have fun with Chrysalis.

"Alright, time to end this!" Gohan yelled, turning Super Saiyan and putting his sword back in his sheath.

"W-What!?" Chrysalis asked.

"Kamehameha!" Gohan yelled, firing the Kamehameha wave at Chrysalis.

Chrysalis used her magic to try and combat it, but she was instantly over powered by it, and was knocked away into the distance.

"NNNOOOOOOOOOOOOoooooooooooo...." Chrysalis yelled as she was blasted.

Gohan couldn't tell if she died.

However, the changelings were still roaming.

Gohan flew above Canterlot.

He saw how the changelings were ruining Canterlot, smashing buildings and terrorizing the citizens.

They were even shapeshifting into his friends! And fighting them, it seems.

But, he could tell who was fake or not.

Sensing power levels did have a good perk.

Gohan flew over to the Mane 6, who were all battling the changelings.

He pulled his sword out and killed a changeling who was about to attack the real Fluttershy.

The green blood oozed upon Gohan's sword.

"Oh! Thank you, Gohan." Fluttershy said.

"Maybe later you can say that!" Gohan said, slashing his sword through the many Raritys, Rainbow Dashes, Pinkie Pies, Fluttershys, and Twilights.

The Mane 6 stopped fighting, as Gohan had covered it.

Gohan blasted a horde of changelings, killing many effectively.

He began to slaughter the armies of the changelings with his sword again.

They were not shapeshifting into him, because being a Gohan would literally screw up their bones.

"Dude, Gohan looks so cool when he uses that sword!" Rainbow Dash commented.

"He is rather elegant using it, and I like it. But I wouldn't say the same about the changelings." Rarity said.

"Maybe he's good with a lasso?" Applejack asked.

"I dunno. He looks cool though!" Pinkie Pie said.

Gohan received no damage from the changelings, mostly because of being a Super Saiyan.

Gohan stabbed the last changelings in rapid succession.

After the final one died, and there were no more, Gohan reverted back to his base form.

Gohan was covered in changeling blood, but he paid no attention to that.

"Are you guys alright?" Gohan asked.

"Yeah, we watched you murder them all! It was awesome!" Rainbow Dash said.

"How did you stab them all in rapid succession? You must have practiced." Rarity said.

"We're all okay." Fluttershy said.

"T-That's good. At least we're all okay. At least it's over, now." Gohan said.

"I forgot! We still need the Elements of Harmony!" Twilight said.

"I took care of Chrysalis." Gohan said.

"Really? Oh, that's good." Twilight said.

***

"Shining! Get up, honey!" Cadence said, trying to wake Shining Armor up.

Shining Armor woke up, with barely any energy.

"You're okay!" Cadence said, hugging Shining Armor.

"W-What happened?" He asked.

"The threat made to Canterlot has ceased, Shining Armor!" Gohan called in the distance.

He was walking back to where the wedding was going to take place alongside the Mane 6.

"Wha?" Shining Armor asked.

"But we do have an enormous corpse count in Canterlot." Gohan said.

"I would take care of it, but I'm too weak to clean it." Shining Armor said.

"Oh, I'll take care of that." Gohan said, sparing a big cup of energy to Shining Armor.

"Wow! This powered me up quickly! Alright, time to get rid of... The bodies." Shining Armor said.

He performed a spell which blasted the changeling corpses back where they came from.

***

"Boy, am I glad we have you!" Shining Armor said, pointing a hoof at Gohan.

"Oh, t-thanks." Gohan said, scratching the back of his head.

"I cannot thank you enough for saving the wedding." Cadence said.

"Twilight and I had a hunch that she was evil. Heh." Gohan chuckled.

"That's right, I have to go apologize to her! I should have never doubted you and her." Shining Armor said.

"She's going to need that apology." Gohan said, chuckling afterwards.

Cadence's Wedding Pt. 4

After a redo on what was required from the Mane 6, the wedding was going to happen again.

Twilight became best mare for Shining Armor again, and received an apology for the way he acted.

Cadence did not act mean towards the Mane 6 like Chrysalis had.

She even brought Gohan along.

They had Applejack's cooking, loved Rarity's dresses and suits, thought the Sonic Rainboom was spectacular, thought the party decorations and plans were a blast, and thought Fluttershy's birds sounded perfect.

After such an ordeal, the wedding was finally happening the way it should be.

The Mane 6 were in their dresses, and Gohan was a Super Saiyan in his proper attire.

https://t00.deviantart.net/Cd3AqpNkMVGG09Wav8m2_7okeiw=/fit-in/700x350/filters:fixed_height(100,100):origin()/pre00/da5b/th/pre/f/2016/366/e/1/gohan_by_tch023-datos61.png

Cadence was walking up to her soon to be husband.

The birds sang.

The Cutie Mark Crusaders made a path of flower petals, making way for Cadence.

Cadence was now with Shining Armor.

"Mares and gentlecolts, we are gathered here today to celebrate a union of the Princess Mi Amore Cadenza-" Princess Celestia said.

"Princess Cadence is fine." Cadence said sheepishly.

"-The union of Princess Cadence and Shining Armor. The strength of their commitment is clear, the power of their love is undeniable. May we have the rings please?" Celestia asked.

Spike brought the rings up.

Celestia used her magic to places the rings on their horns.

"I now pronounce you mare, and colt." She said.

Cheers erupted, and the newlyweds made way to see a large crowd.

The Mane 6 and Gohan remained behind with Celestia.

"You two." Celestia said, pointing a hoof at Gohan and Twilight.

"This is your victory as much as theirs. You persisted in the face of doubt, and your actions led to your being able to bring the real Princess Cadence back to us. Learning to trust your instincts, is a valuable lesson to learn." Celestia said.

'Huh... Why does that sound like it's going to happen." Gohan thought.

As Shining Armor and Cadence kissed, Rainbow Dash performed a Sonic Rainboom in a second.

"BEST WEDDING EVER!" She yelled.

***

Gohan did not attend the after party for some reason.

The others celebrated and took pictures, danced, ate and did many fun things.

However, Gohan sat beside Canterlot, merely sitting on it's edge.

He looked to the sky, which had many fireworks.

No one really questioned why Gohan didn't dance, or even come to the party.

"Am I too late?" Goku asked, from Other World.

Gohan snickered. "Kind of. Hey Dad." He said.

"Man, this is completely different than the wedding your mother and I had." Goku said.

"Really?" Gohan asked.

"Oh yeah, we didn't have fireworks and all that. It was small, and that's when I became a prince. Heheh." Goku chuckled.

"Oh, that's right. Grandpa Ox is a king." Gohan said.

"Yeah... Just wanted to say hi. Anyway, talk to you later." Goku said.

"Bye Dad." Gohan said.

"Son Gohan?" A voice asked.

Gohan looked back to see Princess Luna.

"Hello, Princess Luna." Gohan said.

"Why aren't you enjoying the festivities?" Luna asked.

"I don't know, it just doesn't feel right. Or, I don't feel the urge to celebrate at the moment." Gohan said.

"I see. We will be sure to leave you plenty of food." Luna said.

"Thanks." Gohan said, looking back at the fireworks.

"I almost forgot, we are short on fireworks." Luna said.

"I can take care of those." Gohan said.

"R-Really?" Luna asked.

"Should I demonstrate?" Gohan asked, looking back at Luna again.

Luna nodded.

Gohan stood up, and threw two ki blasts.

He made them spin around each other in the air, and made them explode into a giant heart shape.

Everyone even from Ponyville could see it.

"V-Very immense. I suppose you can handle the fireworks for now. How much longer can you handle this?" Luna asked.

"Very long. It can be hours until I drop." Gohan said.

"We shall reward you later for your time." Luna said.

"You don't need to do that." Gohan said, blasting more ki blasts into explosions of hearts and regular circles.

"You do not want us to reimburse you for your time?" Luna asked.

"I don't want any money for something I find fun." Gohan said, creating more explosions.

"Well, there is no doubt that your soul is pure. Have a good evening, Son Gohan." Luna said, trotting away.

Gohan went back at it with extra blasts this time.

***

"W-Who's handling the amazing fireworks?" Fluttershy asked.

"Is that... Gohan?" Rarity asked.

"Man, he never ceases to amaze us." Applejack said.

"Yeah, with his awesomeness!" Rainbow Dash said.

"Maybe I should hire him for fireworks for ALL the parties I throw!" Pinkie Pie said.

"That's a good idea." Twilight said.

***

The next morning

Gohan packed up his things. Well, his few things.

"Gohan?" Twilight asked.

"Yeah?" Gohan asked.

"I just wanted to thank you for... Not giving up for me. And saving my brother. That was a nightmare." Twilight said.

"I thought there was something weird about the fake Cadence." Gohan said with a warm smile.

"Why didn't you party with us?" Twilight asked.

"I didn't feel like partying. In fact, I did the fireworks after Princess Luna said I could do it." Gohan said.

"You always strike me as odd, you know?" Twilight said.

"I guess I am a bit unusual. I mean, the way I didn't follow my heritage is why Spike didn't follow the ways of his heritage." Gohan laughed.

"Yeah... He was about to stay there forever." Twilight said.

***

They were back in Ponyville, and life was back to the usual.

The Crystal Empire Pt. 1 (Edited)

"The princess wants us in Canterlot again?" Gohan asked.

"Yes, and we have to hurry! To the train!" Twilight said, running to the train.

Gohan flew and grabbed Twilight to take her to the train station.

***

Gohan and Twilight entered the room.

"I'm prepared for this test, Princess Celestia!" Twilight said, showing all her supplies.

"This is a different kind of test." Celestia said, putting Twilight's supplies back in her saddlebag.

"The Crystal Empire?" Twilight asked.

She frantically looked through her books.

"I'm sorry, I thought I had studied! I don't think there's anything in my books that-" "There wouldn't be." Celestia said.

"Few remember it ever existed at all." Celestia said, using her magic to levitate a crystal.

"What's important about the Crystal Empire?" Gohan asked.

The crystal was laid on the floor, to reveal what was the Crystal Empire. It was beautiful, even showing the crystal ponies.

"I do not know much. But I know it contains a powerful magic." Celestia said.

"1000 Years ago, King Sombra, who's heart was as black as night, took over the Crystal Empire." Celestia said.

The Crystal Empire projection turned into a wasteland.

Then a projection of King Sombra appeared.

The Crystal Empire was ruled by an evil looking guy, according to Gohan.

Crystal ponies were slaves to Sombra.

"He was ultimately overthrown, turned to shadow." Celestia said, showing a projection of her and Luna destroying Sombra.

"He was banished to the ice of the Arctic North. But not before he put a curse upon the empire. A curse that caused it to vanish into thin air." Celestia said.

The projection of the Crystal Empire disappeared.

Celestia raised the gem with her magic.

"If the empire is filled with hope and love, those things are reflected across all of Equestria." She said, making the gem shine rainbows.

"If hatred and fear take hold..." Celestia said, using dark magic to create dark crystals around Twilight and Gohan.

She destroyed them soon after.

"Which is why I need your help to find a way to protect it." Celestia said.

"You want me to help protect an entire empire?" Twilight asked.

"It is, as I said, a different kind of test. But one I'm certain you will pass." Celestia said.

Twilight seemed doubtful, but soon turned serious. "How do I begin?" She asked.

"By joining Princess Cadence and Shining Armor in the Crystal Empire." Celestia said.

"My brother's there?" Twilight asked.

"He is. And your Ponyville friends will join you as well." Celestia said.

"So, we just need to keep hatred from entering the Crystal Empire?" Gohan asked.

"Correct." Celestia said.

They walked/trotted away from the throne room.

"I believe you will succeed. And when you do, You'll be on the next level of your studies." Celestia said.

Luna was waiting outside.

She had a serious face towards Twilight.

Gohan scowled at her because he thought it was a contest.

"But what if I fail?" Twilight asked.

"You won't." Celestia said.

"But... What if?-" Twilight after before Celestia put a hoof on Twilight.

"You won't." She said.

Gohan and Luna were having a scowling staring contest at this point.

"That's enough you two." Celestia said, giggling afterwards.

"Good game!" Gohan said with a smile.

"As to you." Luna said with a smile.

"Now Gohan, you will be a great addition to Twilight's journey. However, it is her alone who can assist Princess Cadence and Shining Armor in doing what needs to be done to protect the empire." Celestia said.

"Alright." Gohan said.

"Do you two understand?" Celestia asked.

"Yes!" Twilight said.

"Yes, ma'am!" Gohan said, saluting the princesses.

"Then go. There is no time to lose." Celestia said, closing the doors.

"Don't worry, you can do it." Gohan said.

"I hope..." Twilight said.

***

Spike, Gohan and the Mane 6 were all on their way to the Crystal Empire. On a train.

They got off at the Frozen North.

"Hah. I packed many scarves." Rarity said.

Spike was carrying Rarity's stuff. There were many suitcases and bags.

"Uh... Do you need help?" Gohan asked.

"No... I can... Do this..." Spike said.

"Twilight!" Shining Armor called.

He was approaching in a mask.

"Shining Armor?" Twilight asked.

"Twily, you made it!" He said.

They hugged.

"We better get moving. There are things we can run into that we don't want to run into after dark." Shining Armor said.

"What kind of things?" Fluttershy asked, scared.

"Let's just say... The empire isn't the only thing that's returned." Shining Armor said.

"Okay, let's go." Gohan said.

"Oh, Gohan! Didn't even notice you!" Shining Armor said.

"Let's get going before the frostbite hits you." Gohan said.

"What about you?" Twilight asked.

"This is not cold for me." Gohan said with a smile.

"Yeah, it's a breeze." Rainbow Dash said.

***

As the Mane 6, Spike, Gohan and Shining Armor traveled, they were hit by tremendous weather.

Gohan was the only one unfazed.

"Something keeps trying to get in! We think it's unicorn who originally cursed the place!" Shining Armor said.

"But Princess Celestia said I was centered to find a way to protect the empire! If King Sombra can't get in, it must already be protected!" Twilight said.

A loud howl was heard.

A high strength could be sensed by Gohan.

"We have to get to the Crystal Empire, now!" Shining Armor said.

A dark magic figure appeared.

It was smoke, practically.

"That's it." Shining Armor said.

"GO! I'll take it on!" Gohan yelled, running in front of the figure.

The others already ran.

However, the figure blasted rocks of some sort at the others.

Gohan blasted them away.

Gohan blasted the weird dust magic thing away.

But it was coming back.

It shot out weird rocks if some sort at Gohan's hands.

Gohan tried blasting him again, but it didn't work!

"What!?" Gohan asked.

The figure was closing in.

He smashed the figure with his fists, but it turned whole again and seemed unfazed.

"So it's a spirit!" Gohan said, flying away.

It was chasing Gohan.

"Time to leave! SOLAR FLARE!" Gohan said, performing the Solar Flare.

The figure shrieked.

Gohan flew away, where the others were.

***

They entered the barrier around the Crystal Empire.

The Mane 6 and Spike marveled at the Crystal Empire.

Gohan arrived shortly after.

"Gohan! What happened back there?" Twilight asked.

"I think that thing's a spirit. No wonder I couldn't destroy it with just a few simple blasts. I couldn't use my ki with my hands... Let me try again." Gohan said.

Gohan powered up, and it didn't remove the rocks.

"Okay, let's try THIS!" Gohan said, turning Super Saiyan.

This got the rocks off.

"Okay, I got it." He said.

"Gohan, just look at how amazing the Crystal Empire looks!" Rarity said, pointing her hoof at it.

The Crystal Empire Pt. 2 (Edited)

"It looks like my Grandpa's castle in photographs! Except it's more crystal! And bigger" Gohan said.

"It's marvelous!" Rarity said.

"Sparklerific!" Pinkie Pie said.

They entered the massive place.

"It's gorgeous! Absolutely gorgeous!" Rarity said.

She kept sputtering on about how amazing the place was.

Eventually, Applejack stepped in.

"Focus, Rarity." She said.

"We're here to help Twilight, not admire the scenery." She added.

"Eh. I don't know what the big deal is. It looks like just another big castle to me." Rainbow Dash said.

"Oh- P- Gah- Just another old- HAVE YOU LOST YOUR MIND?" Rarity asked, running up to Rainbow Dash.

"Look at the magnifi-" She said before her friends were laughing.

It was a joke.

"Very funny." Rarity said with a smile.

They all entered the palace.

Cadence was there, she had been performing a spell for ages now.

She was REALLY tired.

"Cadence!" Twilight called.

Cadence looked up to see Twilight.

They did their best friend dance.

Then, Cadence almost let the spell stop.

"We need to meet up sometime, when Equestria is not doomed." Cadence joked.

"Are you okay?" Twilight asked.

"I could give you a boost, if you want." Gohan said.

"Please... I'm so tired." Cadence said.

"Alright." Gohan said, sparing a nice cup of energy to Cadence.

Cadence was no longer tired. "Thanks! That's amazing!" She said.

"No problem. But why is she doing the spell for so long?" Gohan asked. "Is it for that thing we saw earlier?" He added.

"Cadence has been able to use her magic to spread love and light. That seems to be what is protecting the Empire. But she hasn't slept. Barely eats!" Shining Armor said.

"We need a defense? I could take over." Gohan said.

"Really? Oh no, I couldn't... You're but a child!" Cadence said.

"It's alright, really. Watch." Gohan said, spreading his arms out.

He closed his eyes, and yellow glows illuminated around his hands.

"Ha!" He yelled, opening his eyes.

The yellow flew outward, setting up a ki barrier around 75% of the city.

"Oops. Need a little bit more power." Gohan said, turning Super Saiyan.

That covered the town, and more. Even more than Cadence's long spell.

"I got it." Gohan said.

"W-Wow... If it really works, then..." Cadence said, stopping the spell.

It did, it was preventing the cold from getting in and also the spirit, which was King Sombra.

Gohan set his arms down.

"Okay, I have the barrier up. It should stay up until I stop it. Or if I don't have energy." Gohan said.

"You never cease to amaze us, Gohan." Shining Armor said.

Gohan chuckled. "I'm just trying to help out." He said.

"Our next problem is trying to gather what's happening in the Arctic, and we couldn't find anything out from the Crystal Ponies!" Shining Armor said.

"Crystal Ponies!? There are Crystal Ponies!?" Rarity asked, pulling her mane.

But then she realized how she acted. And acted normal again.

"Uh, please. Continue." She said.

"But we have to believe one of them knows we can protect the Empire without Cadence or Gohan's magic." Shining Armor said.

"It isn't magic. It's ki." Gohan said.

"Sorry. But we need to find out from one of the Crystal Ponies that we can protect the empire without Cadence or Gohan." Shining Armor said.

Twilight thought about it, and got the solution. "A research paper!" She said.

"Huh?" Shining Armor asked.

"Oh, yeah! We could go to the library and find out how they did it back then!" Gohan said.

"Huh? I was just going to ask the Crystal Ponies. It must be part of my test! OOH! I love research papers!" Twilight said.

"Yeah, who doesn't love them." Rainbow Dash joked, nudging Pinkie Pie.

"OOH! Let me guess," Pinkie Pie said, before picking up and/or dragging the ponies.

"Is it Spike? No, is it Fluttershy? Rarity? Gohan?" Pinkie Pie asked.

"Hey, I like to study!" Gohan said.

"Don't worry, big brother. I am really good at this sort of thing." Twilight said.

"Okay, now we need to feed you." Shining Armor said, pointing a hoof at Cadence.

***

"So, the plan is Crystal Ponies first, then the possibly not there awesome library second?" Gohan asked.

"Yes." Twilight said.

"Jeez, even though you have awesome powers, you're an egghead!" Rainbow Dash said.

"I wanted to be an orthodontist when I was four." Gohan said.

"Ugh. I don't even know what an orthodontist is." Rainbow Dash said.

"An orthodontist does-" "I didn't ask." Rainbow Dash interrupted.

"Oop. Sorry." Gohan said.

The Mane 6 and Gohan were at the center of town.

"Alright, let's each ask the Crystal Ponies!" Gohan said.

Then, the seven each went around town, searching for answers.

But they all had the same answer.

"Sorry, but I don't remember anything before King Sombra took over. I don't even want to remember the time he ruled over us." They said.

"I don't have any information." They said.

But, they didn't feel the same.

Gohan didn't bother checking the Crystal Ponies, because he pieced together what Shining Armor said.

He was looking for the awesome library.

And he found it!

His mouth was agape looking at the many shelves and shelves of books.

***

Now, Twilight had her turn at her mouth being agape.

But, there was another elderly Crystal Pony. She was the librarian.

"Can I help you?" She asked.

"Yes, we're looking for a book!" Twilight said.

"We have plenty of those." The librarian said.

"You do... You do! You really do..." Twilight said, staring at all the books around her.

"We're looking for a history book. Something about how the Empire might've protected itself from danger before." Applejack said.

"History... History... Ah, yes." The librarian said.

This got the seven to smile.

But, after a long silence, Twilight couldn't take the suspense.

"Uh... Where is it?" Twilight asked.

"I... I can't seem to remember..." The librarian said.

Twilight groaned.

"I can look." Gohan said.

"Alright, but you better be qui.......ck?" Twilight asked before seeing Gohan moving at speeds faster than Rainbow Dash.

He looked at every single book on every single shelf with precision and speed. He even put the books back.

"W-What!?" Rainbow Dash asked.

"You STILL think you're faster than him?" Pinkie Pie asked.

"I... I... I don't know." Rainbow Dash said insecurely.

"Wow! We could hire that... Monkey to help me organize." The librarian said.

"Wait... Do I even work here?" She asked.

Gohan found the history book. "I got it!" He said.

"Let me see!" Twilight said, using her magic to take the book out of Gohan's hands.

"I just hope it has the answers we need." Twilight said, opening the book.

The Crystal Empire Pt. 3 (edited)

After an, 'annoying' song according to Gohan, the Crystal Empire was decorated to how it was a thousand years ago.

The Mane 6 made a whole fair for the empire.

Jousting, flags, animals, instruments, you name it!

It took a few days, but it was happening.

Gohan began to tire from the lack of sleep.

Bags appeared under his eyes.

Twilight called for the Crystal Ponies to attend the Crystal Fair.

Just from hearing Twilight yell for the ponies to come to the Crystal Fair made the Crystal Ponies sort of crystal again.

But, the Crystal Heart wasn't the actual one.

That was the one problem.

The one Twilight made was merely temporary.

"I'll retrieve the heart." Twilight said, rushing to find the Crystal Heart.

Only Gohan and Spike came, the rest of the Mane 6 had to keep the Crystal Ponies happy with the fair.

"Gohan, this is my test!" Twilight said.

"The test doesn't say you can't get help. Besides, you may get lost in there!" Gohan said, pointing at the castle.

"Ugh, you can come. Don't do anything, like Spike promised me!" Twilight said.

After finding the throne room with the gem exactly like Celestia's, Twilight performed a dark magic spell.

It revealed a staircase in the floor.

"Wow, that's cool!" Gohan said.

"No time, Crystal Heart!" Twilight said, rushing down the stairs.

"I'll take us down there in a jiffy, and my aura can be a light!" Gohan called.

"Fine!" Twilight exclaimed. "But nothing other than this!" She added.

"Alright, alright." Gohan said.

Gohan took Spike and Twilight and traveled to the bottom of the stairs at breakneck speeds.

As they reached the bottom, a door appeared.

Twilight attempted to open the door, but it kept moving.

"Should I destroy it?" Gohan asked.

"No, let me handle this." Twilight said, using another dark magic spell.

When the door opened, each of them were put into a different place of mind.

***

Twilight was suddenly in Celestia's palace.

She looked around in confusion.

"What are you doing here?" Celestia asked.

"I-I don't know, I opened the door and then-" "Now you must go." Celestia said.

She was clearly enraged.

"Go where!?" Twilight asked.

"Doesn't matter to me. You failed the test, Twilight!" Celestia said.

Twilight was shocked. She failed!?

"I don't understand, the test!?" Twilight asked.

"Not only will you not move on to the next level of your studies, you won't continue your studies AT ALL!" Celestia called.

Twilight was in tears. "B-But, you didn't say I wouldn't be your student if I failed!" She said.

Celestia wrapped her wing around Twilight, only to push her away instantly. "Didn't I?" She asked, trotting away.

"But, what do I do now!?" Twilight asked.

She looked to see a stained glass with King Sombra defeating her!

"No... No... no...." Twilight muttered.

***

Gohan was having his own nightmare.

***

He was suddenly back on Earth.

"The heck?" He said to himself.

He suddenly sported Piccolo's gi.

Without the cape.

And he was in the Cell Games arena?

The Mane 6 were approaching him from afar.

Twilight waved as she came closer.

"Did you really think you won?" A familiar voice came from behind.

A worried Gohan turned around to see...

"Cell! You're back!?" Gohan asked.

Cell chuckled.

"Do you honestly think a barrier can protect the Crystal Empire?" He asked.

"How do YOU know about that!?" Gohan asked.

Cell chuckled.

"Can't say. Speaking of which... Are those your new friends?" He asked, pointing at the close Mane 6.

"No... Don't you dare hurt them!" Gohan yelled.

"Oh, I won't... But they will." Cell said.

Behind Gohan came many childish giggles and muttering.

"The Cell Juniors!?" Gohan asked.

They all charged at a petrified Mane 6.

Gohan quickly flew after them, but he was suddenly stopped.

Cell had caught his foot from behind.

"Not this time, RUNT!" He yelled.

He instantly swumg him around many times in less than a second and hurled him at a pillar of the arena.

The pillar broke, obviously.

"No!" He cried out.

The Mane 6 were were being brutally and mercilessly beaten up...

He tried to charge at them again, only to be halted by Cell once more.

"You know what? I'll turn the entire planet to dust!" He yelled, charging a yellow ki blast in his hands.

"Y-You wouldn't!" Gohan yelled.

"Say goodbye to your precious Equestria!" Cell yelled.

"Equestria?" Gohan asked.

***

"GOHAN!" Spike screamed.

This got them out of their trancelike state.

"Are you okay?" Spike asked.

"I... I'm here...? I'm here! Oh, thank Kami." Gohan said.

"King Sombra's dark magic." Twilight explained.

She opened the door with good magic this time.

This revealed... another room.

With another staircase.

"UUUUGGGHHHH!" Spike groaned.

"I'm here, remember?" Gohan asked.

"Oh, right." Spike said.

"We better make this quick, I'm getting tired." Gohan said.

Gohan carried Twilight and Spike to the top, but he already began to pant.

The barrier he kept was weakening as he himself was tiring.

It's been two days.

At the top, they saw a... Crystal Heart?

"Alright, let's get the Crystal Heart so I can turn off the Super Saiyan and maybe take a nap!" Gohan said.

"Alright! Now, let's get this Crystal Heart to Cadence!" Twilight said, carrying the Crystal Heart with her magic.

But, suddenly, Twilight was trapped in dark spikes! She even dropped the Crystal Heart!

"W-What!? No way, how did he get through!?" Gohan asked.

"H-He!?" Spike asked.

***

During all of this, King Sombra managed to get through Gohan's barrier with a little trick.

Pinkie Pie was doing her usual crazy things around the outer walls of the barrier.

Why was she outside of the barrier...?

"This snow will go great with my 氷!" Pinkie yelled.

(Not the full word but just flavored snow cone)

King Sombra was lurking around...

He snuck up behind Pinkie with his smoke form....

She was humming a song.

I dunno, Smile? Don't know.

And he possessed her by literally going into her body!

Her eyes turned green, and her pupils were red.

She was under complete control.

She entered the barrier no sweat.

And Sombra just exited for a good reason.

He vomited rainbows as he left...

Anyway, he already began his assault on the Crystal Empire.

"My Crystal slaves..." He called.

The Crystal Ponies were running everywhere crazily.

They lost their sort of crystal look.

The rest of the Mane 6 rushed to Cadence.

"Princess! I accidentally let Sombra in!" Pinkie Pie exclaimed.

"YOU WHAT!?" Cadence and Shining Armor asked.

***

Gohan tried to smash the dark crystals to get Twilight out, but they kept regenerating too quickly.

"D-Dang it! How will you pass the test if you don't get the Crystal Heart to Cadence!?" Spike asked.

Twilight thought long and hard.

She tried teleporting out of it, but she was put right back in.

"D-Dang it!" Gohan shouted, smashing the rocks again.

"Spike. You have to take it." Twilight said.

"But Twilight-" "SPIKE! It doesn't matter if I die, JUST GET THE HEART TO CADENCE!" Twilight yelled.

Spike picked up the dropped Crystal Heart.

"It's the only way, Spike!" Gohan said, grabbing Spike and traversing down the castle from outside.

King Sombra was already on his way to Twilight and the others.

"THAT HEART IS MINE!" King Sombra declared. His form became physical again.

"Spike, live through this for me." Gohan said, dropping Spike.

"AAAHH!" Spike screamed.

Gohan charged at King Sombra, and took advantage of his physical form.

He pummeled him to stall him.

King Sombra's assault was put to a halt.

But Spike was still falling.

"HEEELLLLP!" He screamed.

Author's Notes:

Well, I edited it to be better. Tell me what you think.

The Crystal Empire Pt. 4

Cadence flew through the air, catching Spike in time.

Gohan was still pummeling King Sombra.

Cadence landed with the Crystal Heart in her magic.

"The Crystal Heart has returned! May we use it to keep order and peace!" Cadence shouted, putting the Crystal Heart in it's rightful place.

At the center of the castle.

The Crystal Ponies were really Crystal Ponies again!

Their wills alone began to overpower King Sombra's dark magic.

Gohan finally stopped pummeling King Sombra.

"What!? NO!" King Sombra asked.

The Crystal Heart spun crazily, and made EVERYONE Crystal.

Even Gohan, surprisingly.

But since he was a Super Saiyan, he glowed extra bright.

The Crystal Heart destroyed ALL of King Sombra's dark magic!

It freed Twilight, too. Who also became a Crystal Pony.

King Sombra was defeated, and exploded into many pieces.

The Crystal Heart moved it's power to the top of the castle, where it displayed an amazing light show all across Equestria.

Gohan turned off his Super Saiyan form and collapsed from exhaustion.

He fell from the air and smashed onto the ground.

He also fell asleep on the ground beside the Mane 6.

The others, including Cadence and Shining Armor were a little touched to see Gohan sleeping.

Spike looked to the top of the castle, where Twilight remained.

"Good job, Spike." She said.

***

Gohan woke up in a bed.

He groaned as he woke up.

"Is it homework time already?" He asked blindly.

"No, silly!" Pinkie Pie said.

Gohan was surprised to see the Mane 6 there.

"W-Were you watching me sleep?" Gohan asked.

"We wanted to make y'all were okay." Applejack said.

"Uh... Okay. I'm going to pretend you guys never watched me sleep, because that sounds too familiar." Gohan said.

Piccolo.

"It took a long time to get you into this bed!" Rainbow Dash exclaimed.

"Oh, I'm sorry. I probably should have left my weighted clothes at home." Gohan said.

"Alright... Anyway, the Crystal Empire has been restored!" Twilight said.

"Oh, you're all crystal!" Gohan said.

"So are you, darling." Rarity said.

"Oh... Wait, let me see if..." Gohan said, turning Super Saiyan.

That wasn't a bright idea.

Get it?

"AAH! TOO BRIGHT, TOO BRIGHT!" Rainbow Dash screamed.

Gohan turned it off instantly.

"Sorry. Hah!" He said.

"Please warn us next time you do that..." Fluttershy said.

"I'm sorry." Gohan said.

"Stop saying sorry!" Rainbow Dash said.

"Oh, alright. Sorry about that." Gohan said.

"You did it again, sugarcube." Applejack said.

"Oh, man! Sorry, I'm an idi- I did it again! Oh, I am so sorry- NO!" Gohan said.

Everyone began to laugh at his expense, but he laughed with them eventually.

***

The Crystal Ponies were back to normal again.

The Mane 6, Spike and Gohan were leaving after a festival.

Shining Armor and Cadence were walking them to the train station.

"I do wish that it was permanent!" Rarity said.

"Oh well. You win some, you lose some." Gohan said.

"Oh yeah! You looked very cute when you napped!" Pinkie Pie said.

"O-Oh really, did I?" Gohan asked, scratching the back of his head.

"Uh, yeah." The rest said.

Gohan blushed and smiled nervously.

"Everything will be okay now. Twily, you gotta stop saving my rump like this. It's a little embarrassing." Shining Armor joked.

Twilight smiled in return, but also had a sad look.

"I wasn't the one who delivered the Crystal Heart. I failed the test." Twilight said.

"She'll give you a new test!" Shining Armor said.

"I don't think she'll give me a new test." Twilight said.

***

Everyone was back in Canterlot.

Twilight finally ended her meeting with Celestia, Luna and Gohan.

"B-But I wasn't the one who delivered the Crystal Heart to Cadence!" Twilight said, pointing at the stained glass with Spike delivering the Crystal Heart while Gohan was pummeling King Sombra.

"It is true you did not deliver the Crystal Heart yourself. Spike delivered it because you didn't know how quickly you could escape the tower. You weren't willing to risk the citizens of the Crystal Empire in an effort to guarantee your own. It's self sacrifice, Twilight." Celestia said.

"D-Does this mean...?" Twilight asked.

What happened?

SHE PASSED THE TEST! OH MY GOSH SHE PASSED THE DAMN TEST, HOLY JESUS SHE PASSED THE TEST THANK THE LORD OH MY GOD! SHE WON! SHE W-

Sorry.

"I PASSED THE TEST!" Twilight exclaimed after bursting through the door.

By showing that she would risk her own life for others instead of always thinking of herself, she passed.

"We knew you could do it, Twilight!" Spike said.

"Thanks, Spike." Twilight said.

Anyways, Gohan had to have a private chat with the princesses.

"Gohan, you are a graceful and humble warrior, and we are grateful you are protecting Equestria. However, Twilight needs to learn many things about friendship on her own. Especially in situations such as these." Celestia said.

"Okay. So you're saying don't step in unless she can't do anything, and Equestria would be doomed, and everything?" Gohan asked.

"Correct." Luna said.

"Alright, I think I can handle that. Keeps the spotlight off of me! Heheh." Gohan joked.

Celestia and Luna giggled.

"You also seem to have a sense of humor..." They said.

"Okay." Gohan said.

***

"So? What was the meeting about?" The Mane 6 asked.

"Oh, it was nothing. Just catching up." Gohan said.

"That's a little strange, but okay." Twilight said.

"Okay, back to the basic routine!" Gohan said, punching his own palm.

And everything was normal again.

Well, until the Season Three shenanigans appeared.

Gohan's Life through Season 3 (Completely Revised)

Season 3 was a real adventure for Gohan and the Mane 6.

Before the event of Pinkie Pie's cloning, Gohan went to Zecora.

***

"Beans of senzu? By all means, I am confused." Zecora said.

"Here, let me show you." Gohan said, grabbing Zecora's book full of recipes.

He flipped to the page of the senzu bean.

He showed it to Zecora.

"I see. You seek this bean?" Zecora said.

"I'll even pay you, if that's what you want." Gohan said.

"I believe that is reasonable." Zecora said.

***

Gohan received the senzu beans, and went to Twilight's Treehouse.

Well, to show her how the beans worked.

"No way." Twilight said.

"Yeah! Why don't I show you?" Gohan asked.

"Fine." Twilight said.

***

They were outside.

Gohan removed his shirt.

His body got him some stares.

He was as buff as Bulk Biceps!

Some ponies, like Twilight, found it difficult to look away.

"Okay, now look." Gohan said.

He aimed his hand at his stomach.

"Don't mind this, just wait." He said.

He blasted himself in the stomach!

It penetrated him.

Well, he overdid it, because he ended up coughing blood.

In fact, you could see through the hole.

"GOHAN! WHAT THE HECK!" Twilight asked.

"Okay, I-I-I think I destroyed a few arteries... Like the celiac artery..." Gohan said.

"Why!?" Twilight asked.

"And now for the bean..." Gohan said weakly.

Then he coughed more blood.

Gohan ate the senzu bean and was healed completely.

His stomach just morphed back to it's original... stomach.

"See?" Gohan asked.

"That shouldn't be physically possible, but I stand corrected." Twilight said.

***

That was real funny.

Now, when the Pinkie Pies came... He dealt with them in a different manner.

***

Gohan's gravity chamber was overrun with Pinkie Pies!

They were all repeating: "Fun!"

"Oh, what the heck!?" He asked.

They were pressing all sorts of buttons, messing up the programming, and the machine itself was getting beaten up.

"Stop!" Gohan yelled.

No stopping.

"STOP!" Gohan screamed.

Nope.

Gohan turned into a Super Saiyan.

"Stop." He said, grimly.

Everyone stopped.

"Thank you! Now, can anyone explain what's going on?" Gohan asked.

...

"...Fun?" One Pinkie asked.

"Fun!" They all said.

Ah, damn it. Back to the jumping around.

"Darn it!" Gohan said.

He instantly chopped a pressure point on the backs of every Pinkies' neck.

It's like time stopped for a moment.

Until every Pinkie started falling one by one.

"Okay... Now to figure this out." Gohan said to himself.

***

Well, he couldn't figure it out.

So he decided to go to Twilight if she knew.

Gohan held a freaking ball of unconscious Pinkie Pies over his head on his way to Ponyville.

You have no idea what kind of math he did to make sure they didn't just fall off.

He calculated that he needed to hold them up at an approximate angle of 85 degrees while the Pinkies keeping all the Pinkies in had to refrain from moving in the slightest.

So he had to take it nice and slow.

...

'This is difficult...' He thought.

***

So, as it turns out, there are a lot more Pinkie Pie clones than you would've expected.

Everyone in Ponyville is pissed off.

Even Fluttershy was noticeably pissed off.

The Real Pinkie couldn't even tell if she was the real one, and she just regretted making her clones.

So the other ponies gathered in front of Twilight's home for some random reason.

What is she, a princess?

Uh...

Anyway.

Yeah, so, everyone is pissed off and they went to Twilight about it.

"Okay, everypony, please, calm down!" She pleaded.

"Calm down? I just had a Pinkie HURRICANE raging through my shop!" Rarity yelled.

"And they trashed our critter picnic!" Fluttershy said.

Damn, everyone had a complaint.

Twilight couldn't think of any solution on the spot.

...And then there was a giant ball of Pinkie Pies slowly coming the ponies' way.

"Remain calm!" Gohan yelled.

Everyone noticed the Pinkies, and were about to panic.

"These are only unconscious Pinkie Pies! I'm probably just as confused as you are!" He yelled.

He finally managed to bring it down next to Twilight.

His landing caused a slight shift, and the ball let loose, making a bunch of unconscious Pinkies fall on top of Gohan.

The ones who did land on Gohan just bounced off.

"...Huh." He said.

"W-Why did you bring this...?" Twilight asked.

"Anyway, I'm late to the game, does anyone know what's happening?" Gohan asked.

"Well, other than the fact that there are approximately hundreds of Pinkie Pies roaming." He added.

"They're ruining everything!" Everyone yelled at him.

Jesus, they yelled it so loudly that his hair flew back for a moment.

"...Other than that, too." Gohan said.

"I don't know!" Twilight said.

"Please, everypony, hang on while I try to figure something out!" She called to the ponies, opening her door.

"Come on, Spike. I've gotta try to remember the name of that legend she mentioned." She whispered as Spike ran in.

"Wait, what?" Gohan asked, running in.

Twilight just groaned.

"I'll let you in, but close the door!" She yelled.

"Okay...! Sorry..." Gohan said, closing the door.

"Anyway, what's this 'legend' you speak of?" He asked.

"I don't know, Pinkie told me about it, but I can't remember!" Twilight said.

Spike was already looking through the books.

"Does it have anything to do with cloning?" Gohan asked.

"That's exactly what it does." Twilight said.

"Then I'm on it!" Gohan said, saluting before darting through the library.

He was checking each book as fast as he could.

Spike groaned as he just looked through his shelf.

"I'll never find that- Huh?" He asked, finding a horseshoe button?

At the back of a shelf?

"Did you find something?" Twilight asked.

Spike pressed the button, which opened a compartment for another book.

He pulled it out, only for Twilight to take it with her magic.

Gohan stopped his search.

"Did you find it?" He asked, holding a few books about clones.

"Aha! Here it is! The legend of the Mirror Pond..." Twilight said.

"Oh. I'll just put these back, then." Gohan said, doing just that.

"It describes a spell I can use to send them back where they came from!" Twilight said.

"That's perfect! Let's go!" Spike said.

"But how do we know which Pinkie is the real Pinkie?" Gohan asked.

"That's the catch... We don't want to send her back by accident." Twilight said.

"Well, we'll just have to figure out who the real one is then. Shouldn't be too hard." Spike said.

"Spike. They're exact mirror copies of Pinkie. It's near impossible to find the real one, because they'll all probably just say that they're the real one." Gohan said.

"You never know if they'll be honest." Spike said.

"It's worth a try." Gohan said.

***

They went outside, and tried it out.

Well, it's as follows.

"I'm the real Pinkie!"

"No you're not, I'm the real Pinkie!"

"Nuh-uh! I'm the real Pinkie!"

"Fuck you, you are! I'm the real Pinkie!"

"You lying sacks of lies! I am!"

"No, I am!"

"Is that a challenge?"

"Bet you're not as real as me!"

"Oh, it's on, asshole!"

And so forth.

It's endless.

All the Pinkies, even the previously unconscious ones were jumping around town.

They gathered to compete in the 'Who's the real Pinkie?' Competition.

"This was a horrible plan." Gohan said.

"Agreed." Twilight said.

"How in tarnation are we supposed to tell which is the real Pinkie?" Applejack asked.

"I don't know." Twilight said worriedly.

"Me either." Possibly the real Pinkie said.

"Ohh... We've all got the same adorable tails, we've all got the same adorable manes, we've all got the same adorable hooves! Which one of us IS the real Pinkie!? Oh! I haven't the slightest clue! And if I can't tell us apart... WHO CAN!?" She yelled.

She started crying.

"...Pinkie doesn't really utilize an expanded vocabulary, does she?" Gohan asked.

Translation: She doesn't use big words, does she?

"Nope! I only know the same words I know since I was a filly!" Pinkie said, suddenly snapping out from her crying.

"We need a game plan." Gohan said.

"A test?" Pinkie asked.

...

"...Elaborate." Twilight said.

"Pick something really hard for a Pinkie to do, something not fun at all! Any Pinkie that can't do it goes back into the pond. But whoever wants to stay the most, that must be the real Pinkie!" Pinkie said.

"I can't see this working." Gohan said.

"You know, that's not a bad idea." Twilight said.

"What?" Gohan asked.

"The real Pinkie has unlimited tenacity, and she gets things done. From the way the clones act, they don't have much of an attention span." Twilight said.

"Well, I suppose..." Gohan said.

"We need to come up with a test. Gohan, you're coming with me!" Twilight said, running back into her house.

"Do I have a choice?" Gohan asked, slowly following her.

***

"We have the test!" Twilight said.

"Now go round them up! But don't make them unconscious, that'll screw up the plan." Twilight said.

***

Well, test time.

Gohan finally managed to get every single Pinkie Pie roaming about into the boutique.

Using tricks, lies and... Well, for the extreme measures, he had to just use force.

The rest of the Mane 6 were there, spectating.

Problem is, the Pinkies can't calm down.

They're just jumping all over the place in this empty room.

Except for one.

She's just sitting there, sad.

Twilight came up to the stage.

"Welcome, Pinkies, welcome. Please have a seat and make yourselves comfortable." She called.

...Nope.

"Okay, I suppose you can't be comfortable staying in one place, but have a seat anyway." Twilight said.

...

"Sit down!" She yelled.

They ain't listening.

Gohan took it upon himself to do it.

So he got up on stage.

Then he went Super Saiyan.

"Sit down. NOW." He said.

They all sat down.

"Better. Now, I suppose you're all wondering why I had Gohan over here forcibly make you gather here today." Twilight said.

"For fun?" A Pinkie asked.

"No, just the opposite actually." Twilight said.

"What!?" They all yelled.

They looked angry, and ready to fight!

...Until they saw Gohan make his aura flare.

They sat down again.

"Pinkies, you've been brought here to take a test." Twilight said.

They all groaned in unison.

"Don't worry, it's a simple test, about as simple as they come, and whoever passes gets to stay." Twilight said.

So all the Pinkies liked the sound of that.

"Curtain, please." She said.

Spike pulled the rope, and the test was revealed to be a wall of recently painted paint.

"The test... will be watching paint dry!" Twilight said.

Now there were boos again.

Gohan gave the death stare, and they piped down once more.

"On your mark, get set, go!" Twilight said.

They all stared at the wall.

"Oh, this is so exciting!" Spike said, grabbing some popcorn and a chair.

***

"Okay, maybe not that exciting." He said.

Nothing was happening.

Fucking NOTHING.

...Oh, there we go!

It took a long time, but eventually, each Pinkie was going down one by one.

By losing focus because of many things.

Like birds, boredness, wanting to jump and touch the ceiling, wanting to watch that happen, orange frogs, making fingers appear on hooves, watching that happen, making a face that resembled G3, watching that, and countless other things.

Twilight was so burned out, that Gohan just destroyed a few of them with ki.

First time he did that, the Mane 6 gasped!

"What?" Gohan asked.

Then he realized.

"Don't worry, they're not real. There's no blood when that happens." He said.

So now we're down to two fucking competitors!

...They're taking so goddamn long.

I can't take it anymore!

Someone just end the thing already!

Well, Rainbow Dash had enough as well, so...

"Somepony's making balloon animals!" She said.

The faker stopped to look!

"What? Where?" She asked.

And then it's over.

The last Pinkie clone is gone.

The real Pinkie (we think) is the winner...!

...She's still looking at the paint.

"You can look away, Pinkie." Twilight said.

"I passed?" Pinkie asked.

"You passed. You're the only Pinkie who kept staring at the wall." Twilight said.

"Only the real Pinkie has that much of an attention span." Gohan said, still a Super Saiyan for some reason.

"I'm me! I'm me! YAY!" Pinkie cheered, jumping in the air.

***

That was just fokin great.

Let's move on.

Gohan helped the Cutie Mark Crusaders with their float.

...And with family relations.

***

The Cutie Mark Crusaders were desperate to impress Applebloom's cousin, Babs Seed.

She was from Manehattan!

I don't know, I've been to Manhattan and it kinda sucks.

Probably because I had to go there a lot.

Damn you, life!

Unrelated.

Sorry.

Anyway, they tried impressing her with the CMC Clubhouse and failed miserably...

So they decided to impress her with the float they have Gohan making for the Summer Harvest Parade.

***

Gohan was working on the trio's pumpkin float for the parade in the barn.

It's because he's the super nerd hero.

He knew all the blueprints, tools and resources necessary.

The Crusaders just don't do math very often.

I love math. My favorite subject.

He was just about done.

The trio had Babs Seed go to the barn where Gohan had been working.

"Here it is! The official Cutie Mark Crusaders float for the Summer Harvest Parade!" Applebloom said, showing the nearly finished work of art.

Gohan was just about to put a wheel on the float.

"Hey you guys! Who's your friend?" Gohan asked.

Babs Seed looked at Gohan with a confused look on her face.

"What is that?" Babs asked.

"I'm Gohan." Gohan said.

"Yes, he's our friend. He helped build this!" Applebloom said.

"As a member of the Cutie Mark Crusaders, you can ride with us, Babs!" Scootaloo said, flapping her wings in excitement.

Babs Seed chuckled awkwardly.

"More like FUNNY!" Diamond Tiara said.

Gohan face palmed when he heard that.

"Both of you, just leave us alone please? And can you stop calling me an ape?" Gohan asked.

Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon appeared.

"Well sorry, MONKEY!" Diamond Tiara said, and the two laughed.

Gohan and the trio looked at them with death stares.

"What is that thing? A giant orange?" Silver Spoon asked, trotting up to the float with Diamond Tiara before laughing.

"It's a pumpkin. Wow, I expected fifth graders to be smart, not blind." Gohan said.

"Whatever. More like a lamekin." Diamond Tiara said before they laughed again.

"What an insult. We are truly hurt by a word that doesn't exist." Gohan said sarcastically.

"Who's the new blank flank?" She asked, referring to Babs Seed.

Babs hid her flank with her tail in embarrassment.

"She's my cousin, Babs. She's from Manehattan." Applebloom said.

"Oh. Nice to meet you Babs." Gohan said, waving.

Babs still looked confused at him.

"Manehattan, huh? Well, I guess you have that going for you." Diamond Tiara said.

"I suppose you're going to join their little club? What's it called? The Cutie Mark Crusaders?" Silver Spoon mocked.

"Can't you be nice to them? I mean, being a blank flank doesn't mean anything. It just means they have hidden potential." Gohan defended.

"Coming from a blank flank." Diamond Tiara said before they laughed again.

"I don't have the body of a pony, so I am not able to receive a Cutie Mark." Gohan said.

"But I do know potential." He added.

"Whatever, ape. Anyway, what'll you do, Manehattan mare?" Diamond Tiara asked.

Babs Seed had to decide between her cousin or these new ponies.

And the hero of the place.

So...

She blew her Mane out of her face.

"More like the Cutie Mark Crybabies!" Babs said, walking to the duo.

Gasp!

"Babs! Don't be so mean to your cousin!" Gohan said.

"Who are you to tell me, ape?" Babs asked.

"Getting a million Frieza vibes from you, GOSH." Gohan mumbled like an edgy teen.

"Ooh, big city attitude. I like it." Diamond Tiara asked.

"Oh yeah? Well there's more where that came from. Check this out." Babs said, kicking and breaking the emergency brake.

Also known as the piece of wood that kept the float from rolling down a hill?

Le gasp!

"Oh, no she didn't!" Scootaloo said with some sass.

Snickers and laughs from our two most hated fillies in the room...

"No! Darn it!" Gohan said, running beside it.

"What's wrong? How's that feel?" Babs asked.

"I didn't add the steel to sustain the movement yet, and you had to destroy the emergency break, darn it!" Gohan yelled.

Well, nobody knew what the fuck he was saying.

"How could you do that? That's just mean!" Gohan said.

They didn't care.

Babs just shrugged.

The pumpkin lost it's base because of the lack of an emergency break, and started rolling down the hill.

More laughing.

"I got this!" Gohan yelled, running after it.

Damn, it started chipping away, and some of the wood broke apart.

He quickly ran past it, only to hold his hands out to stop it.

Problem is, now there are two holes in the float.

Gohan groaned.

Nonetheless, he took his hands out and lifted it up.

"What are you guys doing!?" He asked.

Now everyone was shocked to see him lifting a FUCKING FLOAT UP!

Sorry.

"Someone could've been seriously hurt!" He yelled.

Applebloom was furious.

"When I tell Applejack-" "When you tell Applejack what?" Babs asked, closing the gap between her and Applebloom.

"What are you, a snitch?" Babs asked.

Gohan set the pumpkin back where it was so that it wouldn't roll again.

"There's a difference between a snitch and telling on a bully." Gohan said.

"And what would you know!?" Babs retorted.

"What would I know? You're being a huge jerk, and you're acting very disrespectful to your cousin." Gohan said.

"Sorry, I didn't think crybabies deserve any respect! Hah!" Babs mocked.

More laughs.

He had enough.

In a short fit of rage, Gohan turned into a Super Saiyan, completely confusing the three jerks.

He slowly walked up to Babs.

"Now listen here, you ignorant little filly. When you respect other ponies, they respect you back. If you can't be bothered to respect your cousin, or her friends, then please, kindly leave her alone. You got that?" He asked in a scary yet low voice.

He was towering over Babs.

...

...No response.

Too scared.

"Answer the question!" Gohan yelled on impulse.

He didn't mean to, he got angry for his friends.

...

"Wow, he loses his temper like an ape too!" Diamond Tiara said, before the three laughed.

"Yeah, I got it, monkey." Babs mocked.

"Come on, Babs. You should hang with us. You know, the cool ponies! Not these babies!" Diamond Tiara said, as the three trotted away.

Applebloom was shocked.

...

"What... Just happened?" She asked.

"I think she just turned to the dark side." Scootaloo said.

"Your cousin showed up, the bullies showed up, made her into a complete jerk, she tried to destroy your float and your cousin happens to not like you, Applebloom." Gohan said.

"We know." Applebloom said.

"Oh. Then why'd you ask the question...? Nevermind. I'm sorry I lost my temper." Gohan said.

Applebloom was devastated.

"We have to tell Applejack!" Sweetie Belle said.

"No! We can't be snitches!" Applebloom said.

"But that's totally irresponsible. If your own family member is bullying you like that, then you really need to tell Applejack. Or someone else." Gohan said.

"But I don't wanna be a snitch..." Applebloom said.

"And we don't want to be babies!" Scootaloo said, standing on her backhooves and crossing her forehooves.

"...Then why do I feel like crying?" Sweetie Belle asked.

'Ugh....' Gohan thought.

"Is the float okay?" Scootaloo asked.

"Er..." Gohan responded, scanning the float.

"It's received heavy internal damage, so it won't be able hold more than one filly. I already did the exterior designs, so we'd have to pick it apart just to fix what's inside." He said.

"Oh, man! I can't believe she ruined our float!" Scootaloo said angrily.

"I can't believe I'm related to a big stinkin' bully!" Applebloom said angrily.

"What are we going to do?" Sweetie Belle asked.

"Should we build a new float?" Applebloom asked.

Gohan tried looking at the interior through the holes he made in the float.

"...Yeah, we need a new one." He said.

"But she'll probably break that one, too." Scootaloo said.

"Well, do you want to participate in the parade?" Gohan asked.

"I really don't mind making another float." He said.

"We do, but we don't want her to destroy it!" Applebloom said.

"Then you need to resolve your family matters..." Gohan said, just reminding himself of his own family matters.

'...I miss mom.' He thought.

"But we don't want to be snitches!" Scootaloo said.

Gohan sighed.

"You'll have to figure this out on your own. Once you know what you want to do, let me know if we're making the float again." He said.

***

Yeah, so...

Babs and her new friends were bullying the hell outta the Crusaders.

Stealing their milkshakes, scaring them, and overall mocking them.

They grew scared of them, damn.

Especially Babs, for some reason.

It's like they had to have eyes in the back of their heads just to make sure they weren't there.

But they still got pranked.

"It's just a prank, bro."

After a very long day, our trio were convinced that the others would run them out of town.

I mean, Applebloom went through torture at home.

They were walking towards their clubhouse, since that's the only safe place they know of.

"Babs may have run us out of town, but at least we still have the club...house?" Applebloom asked.

Well, Babs was at the balcony of the clubhouse already.

And she noticed the Crusaders.

"Hey! What're you doing at MY clubhouse?" She sneered.

"Y-Y-Your clubhouse!?" Scootaloo asked angrily.

"It's OUR clubhouse!" The Crusaders said.

"Well, it WAS yours, but now it's MINE!" Babs sneered.

"And mine!" Diamond Tiara sneered, appearing beside Babs.

"And mine!" Silver Spoon sneered, doing the same thing.

Applebloom was heartbroken.

"That's not fair, Babs! We never did anything to you!" She said.

"And let's keep it that way. Now scram, crybabies!" Babs yelled, destroying the only means of getting up to the clubhouse and out.

I think she trapped herself without realizing it.

The three bullies all giggled and went inside.

Sweetie Belle was on the verge of crying.

"Don't cry... This is the one thing they CAN'T take away from us." Applebloom said.

"How!?" Scootaloo asked.

"Let's get our other friend..." Applebloom said with a devilish smirk.

***

The Crusaders returned to their clubhouse with a special friend of theirs.

The only nerdy Saiyan.

Our bullies all got on the balcony again.

"Great, now they brought the ape." Diamond Tiara said with a small voice.

They all laughed with each other with that comment.

"Hey! I take offense to that!" Gohan yelled.

"How did you even hear them?" Scootaloo asked.

"What do you want, crybabies!?" Babs yelled.

"My friends want their clubhouse back!" Gohan yelled.

Then Applebloom whispered some stuff in his ear.

"And for you to stop bullying them!" Gohan added.

Those bullies all laughed again.

"And what are YOU gonna do about it, huh?" Babs sneered.

"Well, first off, try to resolve the issue without any sort of violence. Now, can we all respect each other and get along?" Gohan asked.

"I don't think they deserve it!" Silver Spoon sneered.

"Then you don't deserve anyone else's respect. I'm going to come up there if you don't give it back!" Gohan yelled.

"Hah! Like you could get up here!" Babs sneered.

Gohan jumped high into the sky, and landed in front of our bullies.

He gave them extreme death stares.

They all just stared back at him, with scared looks.

...

Eventually they started sweating.

...

'Extreme measures.' Gohan thought.

He got into a fighting pose and turned into a Super Saiyan with a glaring aura.

Babs pulled a rope to create some sort of slide off the remaining stairs and they made like the UK, and BREXITED THAT SHIT got the heck outta there.

They ran right past the Crusaders, and now they knew how the Crusaders felt.

"Sweet revenge...!" Scootaloo whispered.

"That actually felt great!" Applebloom said.

"That wasn't great at all!" Gohan called.

He wasn't a Super Saiyan now.

"You still haven't made up. That's an unhealthy relationship." He said.

"I know... But she's just so rotten!" Applebloom said.

"I can relate, but revenge isn't the answer." Gohan said.

He jumped down to that makeshift slide.

"Anyway, we have to fix up the stairs." He said.

"And how do we do that...?" Applebloom asked.

"Actually, just let me handle that. You can go on and do whatever." Gohan said, walking up to a dying tree.

Well, let's just say he was starting to recreate the stairs.

So he wasn't paying attention.

"That was a close one." Scootaloo said.

"Yeah. Being kicked out of our own clubhouse would be too much." Sweetie Belle said.

"It's already too much for me, she stole my bed!" Applebloom said.

"Seriously?" Scootaloo asked.

"Super-Seriously." Applebloom said.

"Then you need to talk to Applejack!" Sweetie Belle said.

"No!" Applebloom instantly responded.

"Rarity...?" Sweetie Belle asked.

"No!" Again.

"Twilight...?" Sweetie Belle asked.

"No, no, no!" Applebloom said.

"Goha- Wait a minute." Sweetie Belle said.

"No, we need to fight back!" Applebloom said.

"Yeah!... How are we gonna do that?" Scootaloo asked.

Applebloom thought about it for a moment, then she had it.

"By makin' her the guest of honor at the Summer Harvest Parade!" She said.

"Yeah! Wait, what?" Scootaloo asked.

Applebloom did a little evil chuckle.

"When you look up 'embarrassed' in the dictionary..." She whispered.

"Her face will be there!" She whispered.

"But how are we going to do that?" Scootaloo asked.

"We have our builder, we just need to booby trap it!" Applebloom said.

"But isn't that wrong...?" Sweetie Belle asked.

"She deserves it! Besides, she'll keep ruining our lives if we don't show her who's boss!" Applebloom said.

"Hey!" She called to Gohan.

"Sorry! I just need to get some nails for the stairs! Be right back!" Gohan said, about to fly off.

"Wait!" Applebloom said.

"Hold up!" Scootaloo said.

Gohan stopped before he flew.

"We'd like you to, um... Make the float... Again." Applebloom said.

...

"Okay." Gohan said.

"But we want it to be a giant Apple this time!" Applebloom said.

"Uh... Sure. What made you change your mind?" Gohan asked.

"Are you going to make up with your cousin with it?" He asked.

Applebloom giggled.

"She'll see..." She said with an evil face and a few sinister laughs.

...

"...It's for revenge, isn't it." Gohan said.

"W-What? No!" Applebloom lied.

"Lying won't help. I'm not making a float so you could smash it into her or something." Gohan said.

"Well, we had something else in mind." Scootaloo said.

"Unless it's not for revenge, no way." Gohan said.

"Fine... It won't be for revenge." Applebloom said.

"Are you SURE now?" Gohan asked.

"Yeah... I'll tell Applejack and try to fix it..." Applebloom said.

Gohan smiled.

"There you go, now we got it. I'll get that float done after this." He said.

Then he flew off to get some nails.

...

"...You're not really going to do that, right?" Scootaloo asked.

"Nope." Applebloom said.

***

Well, the whole float making process is happening.

"Emergency brake... Check. Steering mechanism... Check. Fuel tank... Check."

Yadda yadda.

It was finally done, a giant apple!

'Two floats, Kami.' Gohan thought.

So he got our riders to look at it.

Who happened to be carrying saddlebags.

"Is that what you wanted...?" He asked.

"This is perfect!" Applebloom said.

"Thanks so much!" Sweetie Belle said.

"It's totally awesome!" Scootaloo said.

"Can we make a few teensy tiny edits?" Applebloom asked.

"Uh... Sure. What kind of edits?" Gohan asked.

"Oh, we just want to change the apple color." Sweetie Belle said.

"What's wrong with this one?" Gohan asked.

"It's green." Scootaloo said.

"You don't like green?" Gohan asked.

"Well, it's not that, we prefer a different color." Applebloom said.

"Oh. Okay. Go nuts, just make sure you don't put a dent in it." Gohan said, walking away.

"Thanks!" The trio yelled.

"Happy to help!" Gohan yelled.

...

"Okay, did y'all bring the stuff?" Applebloom asked.

***

Our Prankster Crusaders had trouble with the booby traps, but nonetheless, got it done.

Problem: The blueprints.

Our three were trying to see the interior of the float through the blueprints, but...

"What's a 'mechanism?'" Applebloom asked.

"What's a 'flux capacitor?'" Scootaloo asked.

"What's an 'interior?'" Sweetie Belle asked.

"How are we gonna do anything if we can't read this?" Scootaloo asked.

"Let's just build our traps around his big words... We have to just stop the steering wheel and the brakes at the right time." Applebloom said.

Well, they finally did it.

By the crack of dawn.

"Is... Is this it...?" Sweetie Belle asked.

She had bags under her eyes.

So did the other two.

The float was a giant golden apple with a booby trap set inside it to stop the steering and the brakes.

Including that emergency break.

The trap was a kitchen timer.

"I think... we're a go." Scootaloo said.

"Good, 'cause we'd better get out of here before Babs finds us." Sweetie Belle said.

They all did a tired threeway high five.

***

Well, parade time.

There was a road paved for the floats, but the ones who aren't participating are left to be on the side of that road.

Gohan was just making sure there was nothing wrong with the exterior of the float...

Nonetheless, he was pretty surprised that they got this to become so shiny golden.

"I'm impressed. Well, have fun, you three." He said, walking away, into the crowd.

"Thanks!" The trio said again.

They giggled sinisterly...

Meanwhile, our three little bullies happened to be walking about, and noticed how amazing the Crusaders' float was.

"Whoa...!" Babs said.

She was flabbergasted.

Well, Sweetie Belle noticed them noticing the float.

"Isn't it smashing?" She asked.

Then the other two looked at her as if she actually revealed something.

"No! I-I didn't mean smashing! I mean... Isn't it a hit? No! No, I- No! No hitting! I meant– Ugh..."

Yeah, Sweetie Belle gave up.

Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon just left, they didn't care.

Babs remained.

Scootaloo rushed to her.

"Well, don't even THINK about riding it, Babs!" She said.

She winked at her fellow Crusaders.

Sweetie Belle was looking into space.

Applebloom nudged her.

Sweetie Belle then jumped into the float to start the engine.

Vroom vroom, anyone?

Sweetie Belle then started the timer...

For some reason, Applebloom decided to drag a mattress to beside the float.

The two winked back.

"You had your chance." Scootaloo taunted.

Babs looked over to her fellow bullies, who obviously didn't care whatsoever.

But she wanted to impress them, so...

She rammed into the Crusaders, shoving them out of the way.

And onto that mattress.

She opened the door.

"See ya later, Cutie Mark Crybabies!" She yelled, shutting the door.

Then she was off.

"The timer set?" Applebloom asked.

Wink wink.

They got up from the mattress.

"Teach her to fool with the Cutie Mark Crusaders!" Sweetie Belle said.

...Then Applejack happened to be by, holding three balloons.

She also happened to miss that entire interaction.

"Y'all are letting Babs ride in your golden apple float?" She asked.

"Yeah. We thought she deserved to be the... center of attention." Applebloom said.

The Crusaders all giggled sinisterly... But Applejack couldn't notice the evil.

"Well, that's just super sweet of y'all, makin' Babs feel so special. Y'know, after all the heartache she's been havin' in Manehattan." Applejack said.

Then the Crusaders felt a little bad and confused.

"Heartache?" Applebloom asked.

"Well, I didn't say nothin' 'cause I didn't want her to feel singled out, but there's been some bullies back in Manehattan just been teasin' her to pieces for her blank flank." Applejack said.

"T-teased?" Applebloom asked.

"B-Bullied!?" Sweetie Belle asked.

Now our trio felt devastated.

"Yup. She came up to the farm to get away from all her problems back home." Applejack said.

She hooved the balloons over to the trio.

"I'm so proud of y'all. You've done a good deed." She said, walking away.

Those balloons deflated somehow.

"So that's why she jumped in when Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon started giving us a hard time!" Scootaloo said.

"She didn't want to be bullied like at home, so she decided to BE a bully instead!" Applebloom said.

"And now we've turned into bullies too!" Sweetie Belle said.

"What do we do!?" The Crusaders all asked.

...

"We have to tell somepony." Sweetie Belle said.

"Applejack?" Applebloom asked.

"I think Gohan." Scootaloo said.

"We don't have time to find them, we just have to get Babs outta that float!" Applebloom said.

Well, let's cut to Babs.

She caught up to Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon with her stolen float.

"Nice float, Babs." Diamond Tiara said.

"Snagged it from those whiny baby blank flanks." Babs said.

"Too cool for mule, Babs." Diamond Tiara said.

Now our Crusaders were running after the float.

"We gotta stop that float!" She yelled.

Well, the parade's happening, and our main cast were looking at it.

With Gohan eating a crepe and noticing something.

'Wait... Babs is in the float, but my friends are- Sweet Kami.' He thought.

He completely ate the crepe before wiping his mouth and jumping up.

High.

"Uh... Why is he jumping?" Twilight asked.

"Beats me." Rainbow Dash said.

"You'll understand soon!" Gohan called.

"I guess that's that." Fluttershy said.

There's about half a minute left before the brakes and the steering gets stopped.

Our Crusaders were trying to catch up, and they were right behind the golden apple float.

They just couldn't get to the side or anything.

Then they noticed Gohan jump on top of the float.

"Hey- What in tarnation is he doing!?" Applejack asked.

"He noticed." Scootaloo said.

"Gohan!" Applebloom yelled.

"I'll get your float back for you, just hold on!" Gohan said.

"No, we rigged it!" Sweetie Belle said.

Well, Gohan was long gone.

Babs was waving at the masses of ponies...

And then an upside down Gohan just appeared outside her viewing space.

There are no windshields.

"Hey kid! Want to see a dead body?"

"Dah!" She yelled in surprise.

"Hello there, Babs." Gohan said grimly.

"What kind of voodoo is this...?" Babs asked.

"I'm going to ask you to give this back to my friends. I worked really hard on this contraption." Gohan said.

The Crusaders finally got to the side of the float.

10 seconds...

They were nearing a cliff, which, if anyone was to fall off of, they'd land in a mud pile.

That's the plan for Babs to embarrass her.

"Gohan, Babs!" Applebloom yelled.

"Don't worry, I'm getting the float back." Gohan said.

"Yeah, right, like I'm gonna hand this back over to the crybabies!" Babs said.

"No, you don't understand!" Scootaloo said.

"Babs! You gotta get out of that float!" Applebloom said.

"Why should I, huh?" Babs asked.

"It's booby trapped!" Scootaloo said.

"What!?" Gohan asked.

"Yeah, right." Babs said.

Then the timer went off.

The steering wheel was locked in place, and the brakes were completely nulled.

"What did you do!?" Gohan asked, not being upside down anymore.

"We jammed the brakes and the steering!" Sweetie Belle said.

Babs tried grabbing hold of the steering wheel, but it was jammed.

Brakes were jammed as well.

The Crusaders all acted on instinct to jump into the float.

They were right at the edge.

"What are you doing here!?" Babs asked.

"Saving my-" Applebloom said, before the float suddenly stopped.

Gohan pushed the float back, just so it wouldn't fall off the edge.

He stood on the ground again.

The four fillies all looked outside.

Babs was surprised.

"You were trying to save me? After all I've done to you?" She asked.

"Well..." Applebloom said, before-

"Hey! Move the float!" Pinkie yelled from behind.

She was in a lettuce float (literally.)

"Sorry!" Gohan yelled.

He lifted the float up.

Big mistake, because there was no windshield for the fillies to be saved by.

They fell through that tiny hole to see through.

"Crapbaskets..." Gohan said.

He threw the float aside, where it wouldn't be in anyone's way.

Damn, it's ruined.

'I worked so hard on that... Oh well.' Gohan thought.

He jumped and dived down for the screaming girls.

There was no way he could hold them all at once, but he could have them on top of him all at once...

Confusing? You'll figure it out.

'Steady, steady...!' He thought.

He zoomed down, and...!

The four fillies were all right!

And happened to be sitting at the exact same heights.

They stopped screaming and realized they were okay.

"Uh... What happened?" Applebloom asked.

They all looked down and realized that they were all sitting on Gohan's head, back and legs.

He strained really hard to keep the position.

Sweetie Belle ended up sitting on his head, Scootaloo sat on the back, and Applebloom and Babs ended up on the legs.

"P-Please... Do NOT move a muscle..." Gohan said with a strained voice.

He slowly flew back to the top of the cliff.

"I don't understand what's happening anymore..." Babs said.

"Actually, we're pretty confused as well." Applebloom said.

'Steady... Steady...' He thought.

He barely got over the cliff...

He slowly fell down to the ground, where he very slowly fell flat on his face.

"You caa ge off now." He said in a muffled voice.

The fillies all got off him.

The Mane 6, excluding Pinkie, as well as Spike rushed to them.

"What in tarnation were you doing, Gohan!?" Applejack asked, clearly angry.

Gohan pushed himself up.

"I'll admit, when I moved the float, that was entirely my fault..." He said, standing up.

"But there's more to this than I thought." He added.

"What!?" Applejack asked.

"Are y'all fillies all right?" She asked.

"Yeah... We're fine." Scootaloo said.

"Why did you save me?" Babs asked Gohan.

"I think we all tried." Gohan said.

"Well, yeah, but why?" Babs asked.

"Babs, you should know..." Applebloom said.

"We were the reason it was headed into the lake." Scootaloo said.

Our Crusaders all looked saddened.

"What?" Applejack asked.

"We booby trapped the float." Sweetie Belle said.

"Y'see Babs, we were tryin' to get you back for bein' a big bully..." Applebloom said.

"But then Applejack told us about how you were being bullied back in Manehattan." Scootaloo said.

"And we figured out you were just doing it to avoid getting picked on in Ponyville. But, by then... we were the ones being bullies. And... Oh, why does life have to be so ironic!?" Sweetie Belle asked.

"I guess what we're trying to say is..." Applebloom said.

"We're sorry." All the Crusaders said.

Babs blew her mane out from her eyes.

"I'm sorry too." She said.

"In hindsight, I'm partially responsible for this." Gohan said.

"So I'm sorry too." He said.

"What did you do?" Applejack asked.

"I made the float again. I knew that they wanted revenge, but I didn't expect them to actually make such booby traps. Stopping the brakes like that is impressive..." Gohan said.

...

"Y'know..." Applejack said, cutting the silence.

"This all could've been avoided if y'all just came to me in the very beginning." She said.

"I said that. But someone decided to lie." Gohan said, looking at Applebloom.

"Yeah..." Applebloom said.

Babs felt horrible for driving them to attempt this.

"So... can we... start over?" She asked.

"Definitely!" Applebloom instantly said.

***

That was fun.

And then Trixie's return was just hilarious.

Hilariously awful.

***

Let's go over this.

A hooded pony went to a store on a dark and stormy night.

In search of something...

This particular store had something this pony desired...

It was also a mess of collector's items.

The hooded one was rummaging through the stuff, but ultimately couldn't find what she was looking for.

But then, a light shone.

A lamp.

The shopkeeper was there, wearing some sort of monk's gear.

Looking at his magnifying glass and potion bottle cutie mark, you could tell he was a man of science.

He had tiny Harry Potter spectacles with a yellow hue in his pupils.

"May I help you, traveler?" He asked.

The hooded one walked out to the counter.

"Hmm, something drew you to my shop... something powerful." The shopkeeper said.

The hooded pony pointed a hoof at something.

"Ah, you have a keen eye. The Alicorn Amulet is one of the most mysterious and powerful of all the known magical charms." The shopkeeper said.

The hooded pony sign language demanded the amulet.

"Uh, ah- I'm afraid this is... far too dangerous." The shopkeeper said.

Then a big bag of bits was thrown on the counter.

...

"Would you like that gift-wrapped?" He asked.

***

Well, another day.

Twilight wanted to practice a new spell on Fluttershy's animals...

Not to change them in any way, or harm them, of course.

But Fluttershy was still paranoid Twilight would mess up.

Despite Twilight and Spike's best efforts to convince her not to worry, she still was paranoid.

So she requested that Gohan would be there to make sure nothing bad would happen...

Everyone was outside Fluttershy's cottage, including all sorts of little woodland critters.

"Don't be scared, little friends. Twilight is wonderful with magic." Fluttershy said to her animals...

...But then she ran right up to Twilight.

"Anything happens to them, Twilight, so help me..." She threatened...

Then Spike broke it up.

"Aww, don't worry, Fluttershy, Twilight's magic has gotten a lot better since she accidentally crushed me and Applejack with a giant snowball." Spike said.

Twilight blushed at that notion.

"Yeah, her magical power has also increased exponentially." Gohan said.

"Color me impressed, you're gaining a lot of power that I wouldn't be surprised if you were alicorn level." He added.

"Thanks..." Twilight said.

"You're not alicorn level yet, but at this rate, you'll get there. You're a very strong unicorn, magicwise." Gohan said.

"Of course she's good with magic." Fluttershy said.

"Twilight's great with magic. I guess I just don't want my little friends to be scared. Oh, oh, look how scared they are!" She said...

...Her little friends were excited.

"I promise, Fluttershy. Nothing bad will happen to them." Twilight said.

"I know!" Fluttershy said, high pitched.

She's sweating bullets, jeez.

"Don't worry, if any of them even gets a cut, we have these." Gohan said, patting his senzu bean sack, tied to his belt.

Twilight put the critter in her magic and-

"Stop, stop! They can't take it!" Fluttershy said, covering her eyes.

Twilight didn't even fucking move them.

Nonetheless, she continued.

She started making the critters fly up, in a big circle.

They were all cheering and laughing.

Then she skewed them a little bit...

Fluttershy was biting her hooves...

Fingernails? Hoofnails? Do horses have nails?

They were shaped like fingernails, so... I don't know.

Twilight managed to get the critters flying around in a perfect infinity loop.

"Twilight, that looks amazing!" Spike said.

"So precise...!" Gohan said.

Then he felt a disturbance.

'What's that ki over there... Ah, it's probably nothing.' He thought.

Twilight stopped the loop and placed the critters gently back onto the ground.

"Phew!" She said, wiping some sweat off her face.

All those critters rallied around her for another one!

"That's all for now, little ones. Maybe we can practice again later, if Fluttershy says it's alright." Twilight said.

Those critters then rushed to Fluttershy, who was still suffering from PTSD, begging her to let it happen again.

"Your magic has really improved since we came to Ponyville, Twilight. Princess Celestia's going to love it." Spike said.

Gohan felt yet another disturbance.

'That's strange... It's as if something were happening in Ponyville...' He thought.

He looked uncharacteristically serious.

"Thanks, Spike. I have to be at my best when she arrives with the delegates from Saddle Arabia. I can't believe she's trusting me with the entertainment." Twilight said.

Then Rainbow Dash came out of nowhere, ramming into Twilight.

Then both ended up on the ground.

"Twilight! Come quick! It's an emergency!" She yelled.

"I guess I was right...?" Gohan said to himself.

***

In Ponyville, all the ponies were gathered around Rarity's boutique for some reason...

Rarity was shot with some red magic, and now...

...She had a dress with some colors she didn't like?

She gasped loudly!

"You beast! This shade of brown should only be used for accents!" She said, fainting.

Applejack used her back to catch Rarity.

"Come on, Applejack. We've got to get her in a nice, soothing pink, stat!" Pinkie yelled.

Those three were gone.

And the cavalry just came walking in!

Gohan and Twilight, yeah!

"What's going on here?" Twilight asked.

"Well, well, well. If it isn't..." The hooded pony said, revealing her hood.

"Twilight Sparkle." Trixie said.

With red pupils for a fraction of a second.

Gasps!

"Trixie!" Twilight said menacingly.

"Trixie? I couldn't recognize you with this kind of dark power." Gohan said, not so menacingly.

"Oh look, you brought the monkey this time." Trixie said.

"What's she doing here...?" Spike asked.

"You call THAT great and powerful?" Rainbow Dash asked, flying in the air.

Trixie immediately shot her with red magic, and...

Enlarged her right wing to monumental proportions.

It was hard to maintain balance, so she started flying everywhere.

"Oh! She's Rainbow Wobble, now!" Brown nosing Snips said.

Rainbow Dash ended up crash landing on the ground.

Le gasp!

'Where did she get this kind of power from...?' Gohan thought.

"Good spell, oh Great and Powerful Trixie!" Snails said.

"You two, BE QUIET!" Trixie yelled.

She fired magic at THEM, and...

Well, now Snips and Snails had their horns merged together.

With Snips on top and Snails on the bottom...

"Uh, hey! W-What happened?" Snips asked.

"Ah! Get off of me!" Snails yelled, trying desperately to get Snips off.

His shaking caused the audience to back off.

They ended up swapping places and running back and forth like a bunch of dumbasses.

"Stop picking on my friends, Trixie!" Twilight yelled.

"You and I have some unfinished business. My magic's gotten better since I was here last. And I'm going to prove it! Me and you, a magic duel. Winner stays, loser leaves Ponyville FOREVER!" Trixie demanded.

"Forget it! I'm never making a deal like that!" Twilight said.

"I suggest you leave right now." Gohan said, holding a ki blast right at her.

"...Before I start taking you seriously." He added.

"Hmm. You embarrassed me as well. I suppose I could duel the both of you..." Trixie said.

"That- That's incorrect." Gohan said, stopping the ki blast.

"Huh?" Trixie asked.

"That's incorrect. A duel is an arranged engagement in combat between two parties. There are three of us." Gohan said.

"Spare me your grammatical nonsense!" Trixie yelled.

"Actually, that-" "SILENCE!" Trixie interrupted Gohan.

"Why are you even doing this!?" Twilight asked.

"Why? Because you humiliated me! After you showed me up with that Ursa Minor, and after that monkey blasted the Ursa Major into the sky..." Trixie said.

"I actually put it back where it belongs in space." Gohan said.

"SHUT IT!" Trixie yelled.

"I became a laughing stock! Everywhere I went I was laughed at and ostracized. I even had to take a job on a rock farm just to earn a living! A rock farm!" She yelled.

"Hey!" Pinkie yelled.

"You're lucky a rock farm would take the likes of you!" She yelled.

Trixie made a computer mouse icon appear and a trash can.

She grabbed Pinkie's mouth... Somehow...

And pulled it off her face.

She threw it into that trash can and now Pinkie can't talk.

"Now I want REVENGE!" Trixie yelled.

She fired magic towards Twilight's Treehouse...

But Gohan chopped it and made it disappear.

"I've had enough of your little tricks, Trixie." Gohan said.

Then he quickly went to Twilight.

"You want me to handle this? I don't think you can handle Celestia level power yet." Gohan said.

"Uh... Sure, go for it." Twilight said.

Gohan jumped away from Twilight.

"If you want revenge so badly, why don't you try taking it out on me first?" He asked.

He got into his fighting position.

"Hmm. What a brave monkey. Take this!" Trixie yelled, firing a red blast at Gohan.

Gohan stood casually tall and held his hand out.

The blast clashed with his hand!

...Only to disintegrate because Gohan put some yellow ki there.

Trixie was just flabbergasted.

"W-What...!?" She asked.

"I will admit, you've gained a lot of power in such a short time." Gohan said, putting his hand down.

"B-But... How did you...? What!?" Trixie asked.

"Trixie, do you happen to know Newton's Third Law?" Gohan asked.

"Who's what?" Trixie asked.

"The Third Law of Physics." Gohan said.

"Uh... No, why?" Trixie said.

"For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. Allow me to demonstrate..." Gohan said.

He held his hands over his head, with one hand over the other.

Yellow ki appeared in front of the hands.

"Masenko..." He said.

"HA!" He screamed.

He fired that... Well, suppressed minor blast at Trixie.

"Try all you want, it won't beat me!" Trixie yelled she began to charge her magic up.

Gohan sped past her, and was right behind her.

"I wasn't finished demonstrating." He said grimly.

Trixie was startled, and looked behind her.

...Only to get roundhouse kicked right in the jaw!

Trixie was sent flying at the blast...

With the same amount of force.

The two collided, and BOOM!

Small explosion!

Les gasps!

Trixie flew out of the smoke, and landed a few feet away from the explosion.

"...As you can see, I fired a ki blast. It pushed off of my hands, which corresponds to the Third Law of Physics. When I hit Trixie with approximately 250,000 newtons of force, her body received the reaction, and moved in the same direction. Both the ki blast and Trixie hit each other with the same amount of force. It just so happens that the ki blast blew up. If it were a ball with the same mass and weight as Trixie here, then we'd see them bounce off each other and move the same amount of distance opposite of the direction which they came in." Gohan explained thoroughly.

...

Twilight clapped.

"Perfect explanation!" She said.

...

Trixie barely managed to get herself up.

Her hood was a little torn, and she had some gunk.

"Y-You...!" She said.

"Trixie, I don't want to hurt you anymore." Gohan said.

"I don't understand... How can a monkey beat the powers of the alicorn amulet...!?" Trixie said.

"Alicorn amulet?" Twilight asked.

"Alicorn amulet?" Gohan asked.

"I think I've read about that somewhere... Spike?" Twilight asked.

"I'm on it!" Spike said, running to the Treehouse library.

"Trixie, just reverse all the chaos you've done. We'll heal you and you can be sent on your way." Gohan said.

Trixie looked steaming angry.

As if she would refuse...

"If you don't, you'll end up killing yourself. I don't want that to happen." Gohan said.

Trixie actually thought about it...

But then her eyes glowed red for a split second.

...

"No!" She yelled.

Then there was a strong wind coming from her for a second.

She had red lightning around her...

'That's not good.' Gohan thought.

Her power increased with her corrupted rage.

Trixie charged some crimson red magic with her horn.

It was very intense.

Her hood looked as if it would blow right off any minute.

Twilight knew what to do now.

"Everypony, get out! Just to be safe!" She yelled.

Everyone but her and Gohan remained now.

"What are you still doing here?" Gohan asked.

"I want to test out my new spell!" Twilight said with a smirk.

"Go nuts." Gohan said.

Twilight charged a purple magic with her horn...

'But it's so much weaker...!' Gohan thought.

Trixie screamed as she fired some sort of red and black blade tornado at Gohan.

"That looks deadly...!" Gohan said.

It was making the sounds a blade would.

You know, the *shing!*

There's just a bunch of *shing!*s.

He jumped up and backwards to attempt to avoid it.

But the attack followed him somehow.

Now he found himself inside the dark blade tornado.

'Great.' He thought.

"Gohan!" Twilight yelled.

'Just a little more...' She thought.

The magic tornado cut Gohan's clothes numerous times, but bounced off his skin.

'I don't know how I'm supposed to dodge!' He thought.

The good thing is, it just wouldn't strike his hair, and he couldn't be hurt.

"Yeah, how's that feel, monkey!?" Trixie yelled.

She started cackling.

Twilight fired a short magic beam at the tornado.

Then...

The attack just disappeared.

"Huh...?" Gohan asked.

"What!?" Trixie yelled.

"Yes! Dispel spell worked!" Twilight cheered.

"W-What...!? YOU nullified it!?" Trixie asked, pointing a hoof at Twilight.

"Huh. A dispel spell is pretty amazing!" Gohan said, flying down to Twilight.

"Thanks! Studied it just yesterday! Too bad it only works on magic, and mine barely dispelled hers." Twilight said.

Trixie was even angrier.

More red sparks appeared around her.

Spike came running back with a book.

"Twilight! I found it!" He yelled.

Trixie took notice of him...

And grabbed him with her red magic!

"Wha- Hey! Put me down!" He yelled.

He dropped the book.

Twilight quickly grabbed the book with her magic.

"Hey! Put him down, Trixie!" She yelled.

Trixie had an evil grin.

"How about I crush him?" She asked.

"No!" Gohan and Twilight yelled.

"Then surrender!" Trixie yelled.

"This is starting to hurt!" Spike said.

Twilight started reading through the book.

"The alicorn amulet... Ah! Whoever wears it is blessed with untold powers!" She read.

"So that's the target." Gohan said.

"Even though it provides great power, it also corrupts the user!" Twilight said.

"Then I'll just take it off her!" Gohan said.

"Try it!" Trixie said, crushing Spike a little.

"Ah! I felt my bones move!" Spike yelped.

"You can't just take the Alicorn Amulet off her neck, it has a magical lock! Trixie's the only pony who can take it off!" Twilight said.

"Then I'll find another way!" Gohan said, instantly turning into a Super Saiyan.

"Now you changed your mane? Hah!" Trixie laughed.

"I'll end this pitiful dragon right now!" Trixie yelled.

She was about to just crush him into blood and guts.

"This will be over in a second." Gohan said.

In an instant, he moved.

You could only see orange streaks.

He moved past Trixie and back to his original position.

But he was facing away from her, and held a fist.

Trixie was dazed.

Her red sparks disappeared.

She ended up letting go of Spike.

Spike checked himself and was okay!

Trixie collapsed.

Spike quickly ran to Twilight, and they hugged.

Gohan looked over his shoulder at Trixie.

"If you knew better, you'd surrender and reverse your actions." He said.

Trixie barely managed to lift her head up.

She looked angry, though.

"No... Never!" She yelled, standing up.

Gohan appeared right in front of her.

"Then I'll just take this." He said.

He grabbed the alicorn amulet, and ripped it off!

And, surprisingly, did not have any trouble.

Trixie lost all of her energy, and was surprised at the loss.

Twilight and Spike looked in shock.

"How did he...?" They asked.

"How did you do that...!?" Trixie asked.

"This is nothing but a nuisance for us. I'll make sure it'll never be used again." Gohan said, referring to the alicorn amulet.

He crushed it into pieces with one hand!

Twilight, Spike and Trixie looked in absolute shock.

"Trixie, if you knew any better, you wouldn't fight me anymore. I don't want to hurt you." Gohan said.

Trixie looked at him in anger, but realized he was right.

"I... I surrender." She said.

"Okay. Now you can go." Gohan said, doing the 'shoo' gesture.

"Wait, what?" Trixie asked.

"You can leave." Gohan said.

"You aren't going to finish me or anything?" Trixie asked.

"Why would I need to...?" Gohan asked.

Trixie was just confused.

"...This isn't a joke, I'm being serious. If you're scared, don't be." Gohan said.

Trixie started walking backwards.

Then she ran away.

...

Clap.

More claps.

Everyone clapped!

'Oh no. Popularity!' Gohan thought.

He quickly ran to Twilight and whispered something into her ear.

"You know, I have reversal spells for all of that." Twilight said.

"Perfect. Get this attention away from me...!" Gohan whispered.

"Okay, now..." Twilight said.

She found Snips and Snails spinning on the ground like a bunch of dumbasses.

They're still fighting.

"Reversal spell!" Twilight yelled.

Purple magic came out from her horn, and hit the two idiots!

A bunch of purple smoke appeared, and it died down to reveal a separated Snips and Snails.

"Hey! We're not glued together!" Snails said.

"Yeah!" Snips said.

"Now for Rainbow Dash..." Twilight said.

Rainbow Dash was still trying to fly with that giant Dyna Blade wing with the little wing.

She nearly knocked into a lot of ponies.

Twilight fired her magic at Rainbow Dash.

Her wing was fixed.

"Hey! My wing! Thanks, Twilight!" Rainbow Dash said.

Then Pinkie appeared beside Twilight, still missing her mouth.

"Mm! Mmmm mmm mmm mmm!" Pinkie said.

Twilight put her mouth back.

"Yay!" Pinkie said.

***

Then Rainbow Dash's acceptance to the Wonderbolt Academy was just amazing.

Gohan went with Rainbow Dash for moral support.

He ended up doing more.

***

Well, the Mane 6, Spike and Gohan were on the outside of Rainbow Dash's house...

Having a picnic...

Right next to a fucking mailbox.

Why...?

"Ooooh, I wish the mailpony would just come already! I can't wait another minute to find out if Rainbow Dash got in or not!" Pinkie said, impatiently hopping around.

"Pinkie Pie, you're more nervous than Rainbow Dash." Twilight said.

"It's not like you're aiming for a future for the Wonderbolts." Gohan said, eating an apple.

"I'm not nervous at all. When I get into the Wonderbolt Academy..." Rainbow Dash said.

"IF you get in! If you get in! Don't jinx it!" Pinkie yelled, grabbing Rainbow Dash.

"I'm telling you, it's in the bag." Rainbow Dash said.

"Don't jinx it!" Pinkie said.

"For this case... It doesn't seem to be jinxing." Gohan said.

"She is the best flyer in Ponyville." Applejack said.

Cyka! That belongs to Gohan!

"In Ponyville?" Rainbow Dash asked.

She flew up into the sky, and began spinning around a cloud.

She transformed it into a cloud slide and slid down it.

"I'm probably the best flyer in all of Equestria. I wouldn't be surprised if they just went ahead and made me a Wonderbolt on the first day." She said, flying two inches off the ground.

She ended up bumping into the mailpony.

"Got a letter here for Rainbow Dash." He said.

She instantly snagged it out from his hand, and tore it open!

She read it, and...

She looks devastated...

"I... Didn't get in." She said.

Pinkie Pie GASPED!

...

"Gotcha!" Rainbow Dash said.

Everyone perked up.

Rainbow Dash started laughing.

"Ha, you guys are so gullible. Like I wasn't gonna get in!" She said.

Pinkie Pie tackle hugged Rainbow Dash to the ground.

"I'm just sooooooooooo happy for you!" She exclaimed, hugging the shit out of Rainbow Dash.

I think she doesn't know what personal space is.

"Uh... thanks?" Rainbow Dash asked.

"Well, congratulations." Gohan said.

"Wait, Gohan, I need to ask..." Rainbow Dash said, getting out of Pinkie's death grip.

"Do you mind coming with me? You know, for spectating?" She asked.

"Uh... Sure? I suppose so." Gohan said.

"Awesome! Then you can tell me how to improve!" She said.

"Can you tell me why?" Gohan asked.

"I think you'll give me tips to get better." Rainbow Dash said.

"Okay, I need to pack a few things." Gohan said.

"I'll be back..." He said.

Then he zipped away.

"Looks like you have a rival in speed." Twilight said.

"Nuh uh!" Rainbow Dash said.

Rarity and Applejack happened to have Rainbow Dash's saddlebags packed.

Then Gohan came back.

With just a tiny suitcase.

"Bits and clothes are all I need." He said.

"Gohan, would you say you're faster than Rainbow?" Twilight said.

...

"No." Gohan said.

"See? Even he admits it!" Rainbow Dash said.

"Now let's get going. The sooner I get there, the sooner I get to show my stuff!" She said.

She grabbed her saddlebags.

The two started flying away.

"Good luck!" Applejack said.

"Don't need it!" Rainbow Dash said.

...

Pinkie pulled out a gigantic megaphone...

"DON'T FORGET TO WRIIIIIIITE!" She screamed.

Holy fucking shit, she moved the fucking mountains with her voice.

It echoed for a while...

...

"OKAAAAAAAAY!" Gohan screamed from really far away.

That echoed for a while.

Why do voices ripple mountains!?

***

Our two made it to the academy...

Which was a cloud.

A giant cloud.

Rainbow Dash was loving what she saw.

So much training...!

'This is dad's kind of place.' Gohan thought.

"This is gonna be so sweet!" Rainbow Dash said.

"Sure." Gohan said.

***

Arrival time...!

A line of the newbies...

And Gohan.

Who was making sure Rainbow Dash had her stuff secure.

"Are you sure? That doesn't seem stable." Gohan said.

"It's fine." Rainbow Dash said.

"Well, lookie what we got here." Spitfire said.

She was coming in with two other coaches.

Everyone stood tall at her presence.

Except Gohan...

"Bet y'all think you're Wonderbolt material, don't ya?" She asked, walking past everyone.

"Yes ma'am!" Everyone but Gohan screamed.

Spitfire walked back again.

"Think you got what it takes to be an elite flyer?" She asked.

"Yes ma'am!" Everyone but Gohan screamed.

"Well then. Let me be the first to tell you..." Spitfire said.

"You don't!" She yelled into a pony's face.

"If you had what it took to be an elite flyer, you'd already be a Wonderbolt!" She yelled.

Then she went to Cloudchaser.

"Still think you're something special?" Spitfire yelled.

Cloudchaser was trembling.

"No ma'am!" She said.

Then Spitfire turned to Bulk Biceps.

"Ya think you're hot stuff?" She asked.

Then he just trembled and now he's scared.

Then Spitfire turned to Rainbow Dash.

"You look like you're the worst flyer in the whole academy! You'll probably quit after the first day!" She yelled.

"No, ma'am! I'd never quit, ma'am!" Rainbow Dash said.

Then Spitfire turned to Gohan...

"You don't even have wings! Why are you even here!? You can't fly!" She yelled.

Gohan was unfazed.

"I'm here for my friend... I'm not even a part of the academy, I'm not interested in being a Wonderbolt. Plus, I can fly." He said.

"Are you a comedian?" Spitfire asked.

Gohan levitated off the ground, and sat crisscross in midair.

Spitfire was surprised.

"I'm not. I'm just telling you the truth." He said.

"Huh... Wait a minute... Are you that warrior that took down Discord?" Spitfire asked.

"Er... Yes... Ma'am..." Gohan said, dying down at the end.

'I didn't come here to be popular!' He thought.

"Well, I'll be! Son Gohan, right here! Excuse me for being harsh." Spitfire said.

Gohan stood on the ground again.

"T-Thank you...?" He asked.

"But I do expect something from you. So stay sharp." Spitfire said.

'Why...?' He thought.

Spitfire went to Lightning Dust...

"Ha. What about you? Bet you couldn't fly past the first flagpole without getting winded." She asked.

"Try me, ma'am." Lightning Dust said.

"What's that?" Spitfire asked.

"Let me show you what I've got, ma'am." Lightning Dust said.

"Ah. You want a chance to prove yourself, huh?" Spitfire asked.

"Yes ma'am!" Lightning Dust said.

"Well then, now's your chance. Give me five hundred laps! All of you!" Spitfire yelled.

Everyone groaned.

"NOW! That means you too!" Spitfire yelled, pointing at Gohan.

"I'm not even a part of this class!" Gohan said.

"Too bad!" Spitfire said.

"It's not even going to give me a workout, I'm not using any muscles!" Gohan said.

"I don't care." Spitfire said.

She blew the whistle.

***

Well, Gohan was roped into doing this now.

He kept his speed on par with Rainbow Dash.

But, since he had nothing better to do, he kept a cannonball pose.

You know, when you jump off the diving board? Yeah, that.

So he looked hilarious while keeping up with Rainbow Dash.

Lightning Dust and Rainbow Dash were both at the same speed, so there's three of them.

The three all zipped past Cloudchaser...

And Spitfire.

"Four hundred and ninety nine! One more to go!" She yelled.

"Why are you doing that?" Rainbow Dash asked.

Gohan was about to answer, but-

"What do you expect from monkeys? They're all crazy." Lightning Dust said.

"Hey!" Gohan said.

"I'm doing this because this is monotonous, and I'm not getting a workout at all!" He said.

"Whatever." Lightning Dust said.

"Anyway, one more lap to go!" Rainbow Dash said.

"You're on!" Lightning Dust said.

Well, our two pegasi flew very fast, leaving Gohan behind.

'Meh. Hope she wins. That one's a jerk.' He thought.

Rainbow Dash and Lightning Dust zipped around in a flash.

They sped right past Spitfire, landing with smoke.

"Five hundred! Not bad! For a couple of newbies." Spitfire said.

Gohan slowly came in...

He slowed himself down.

You could hear some children's lullaby music for how stupid it looked.

...

"Five hundred...?" Spitfire asked.

"What are you doing?" She asked.

Gohan stopped in his tracks.

"I'm flying." He said.

"That's the stupidest kind of flight I've ever seen! Don't you know that you fly faster by evening your body out! You could've zipped past everypony here!" Spitfire yelled.

Shit.

Come up with a shitty excuse for Rainbow Dash, come on...!

"O-Oh, no ma'am. See, the way I fly, your body position doesn't actually matter. I don't fly with wings, but I use my energy to push off the air. Problem is, my stance doesn't determine my maximum speed, it's my output. So even if so flew straight while standing up tall, I would have the same speed..." He lied.

He pulled that right out of his ass.

"...Whatever." Spitfire said.

"You're done." She said.

During that, Rainbow Dash and Lightning Dust had became friends.

"Hey Gohan! Wanna grab some grub!?" Rainbow Dash yelled.

"Ooh! Yeah!" Gohan said, standing normally again.

***

Pinkie was outside her mailbox...

Opening it every five seconds...

Waiting for a letter to come.

Applejack happened to be by...

"Pinkie Pie, Rainbow Dash and Gohan haven't even been gone twenty-four hours yet. Give them a chance to settle in first. Why don't we just go see what Twilight's up to? I hear Princess Celestia's got her workin' on some new spells!" She said.

"New spells, huh? Okay. Wait! If I'm not here when Rainbow Dash's letter arrives, I won't be able to read it right away. And if I don't read it right away, I won't be able to write her back right away. And if I don't write her back right away, she might think I didn't get her letter, and then she might worry it got lost. And if she's worrying about her letter, she'll be distracted. And if she's distracted, then she won't do well at the academy! And if she doesn't do well at the academy, then she'll get kicked out! And if she gets kicked out, they'll never let her be a Wonderbolt! And if she doesn't get to be a Wonderbolt, all her dreams will be crushed! And it will be all... my... fault!" Pinkie sputtered...

Then collapsing...

I don't get it.

"So in other words, you're stickin' by the mailbox." Applejack said.

"Yep!" Pinkie said.

"Suit yourself." Applejack said.

Back to the opening every five seconds...

***

Now the real training starts...

Gohan was on the sidelines.

He specifically told Spitfire that he didn't want to do any of this, he had his own regimen.

Everyone was in their uniform.

"The Wonderbolts are the fastest, best precision flyers in the world. But spin-outs can still happen. And when they do, a Wonderbolt must be able to recover quickly. This..." Spitfire said.

A pony took a tarp off something huge.

It's a giant target with gears that spin.

"...is the Dizzitron. It's gonna make you very, I repeat, VERY dizzy. Your task is to try and recover and fly straight again, as soon as possible. Once you have recovered you must come in for a smooth landing. Now, who's first?" Spitfire asked.

Rainbow Dash and Lightning Dust raised their hooves.

"You." Spitfire said.

...Who was it?

The Pony next to Rainbow Dash, Meadow Flower.

"You're up." She said.

"Me...?" Meadow Flower asked.

It looked scary...

...

"NOW!" Spitfire screamed.

The mare quickly flew into the Dizzatron.

"Ready!?" Spitfire asked.

"Uh... Yes ma'am!" Meadow Flower said.

Then the machine started.

It spun really fast...!

I'm surprised her face didn't peel off.

Anyway...

"Release!" Spitfire said.

Then Meadow Flower was released...

She spun around many times...

When she tried landing, she slid on the ground and eventually collapsed.

With a bad landing.

"Huh. Fifteen seconds. Decent, but I wouldn't go writin' home about it! Who's next?" Spitfire asked.

Rainbow Dash raised her hoof.

"Alright, Rainbow Dash. Let's see what you got." Spitfire said.

"Yes, ma'am!" Rainbow Dash said.

"Put your training to the test!" Gohan said.

Rainbow Dash got into the Dizzatron.

Then it started again...

Spinning... Spinning...

"Release!" Spitfire said.

Rainbow Dash flew off the Dizzatron, but successfully recovered and landed in an instant.

"Six seconds! That's an academy record!" Spitfire said.

Rainbow Dash landed beside Meadow Flower and Lightning Dust.

"You make it look so easy..." Meadow Flower said.

"I make everything look easy." Rainbow Dash said.

"Okay, Lightning Dust. You're up." Spitfire said.

Lightning Dust got into the machine.

"Ma'am, can you put the Dizzitron at maximum speed? I wanna push my limits." She said.

"You sure about that?" Spitfire asked.

"Yes ma'am." Lightning Dust said.

"Okay, you asked for it." Spitfire said.

The machine started again, and...

Now I really think her face would've peeled off by now.

...

"Release!" Spitfire said.

Lightning Dust spun around many times, but instantly recovered.

She dropped down, and zipped past Spitfire.

"6.5 seconds! Not bad!" Spitfire said.

Rainbow Dash and Lightning Dust did a hoof bump.

Spitfire turned to Gohan.

"You. You're up." She said.

"I specifically told you that I'm not even a part of this class!" Gohan said.

"That's an order!" Spitfire yelled.

Gohan sighed.

He walked up to the Dizzatron.

"It's not going to be fair, my way of flight will make this unfair." He said.

"Just get in!" Spitfire yelled.

Gohan did just that.

"Let's go at highest setting!" Spitfire yelled.

"Sure...?" Gohan asked.

The machine started spinning again...

Gohan's face wasn't looking like it'd peel off.

...

"Release!" Spitfire said.

As soon as Gohan released, he stopped in place.

...Then the metal bar holding ponies in broke off.

Spitfire looked shocked.

Well, everyone was.

"Ah- You see!?" Gohan asked.

"How is that even possible? You should be dizzy!" Spitfire said.

The machine was whirring behind Gohan.

"I told you, I use my energy to push myself off. I could push myself backwards even before I fly off this thing. So it's not fair." Gohan said.

"Huh... Well, we need to repair this... You all get a free period!" Spitfire yelled.

The ponies all cheered.

"However!" Spitfire said, silencing them.

"For the rest of the camp, you'll be working in pairs. 'Morrow morning, I'll post the teams, including who'll be lead pony and who'll be wingpony. Good luck." She said.

"Wait." Gohan said, now standing on the ground.

"I just want to make sure you're not adding me in." He said.

...

"...And what if I do?" Spitfire asked.

"...I won't be happy...? I'm not even a part of this class, it's pointless." Gohan said.

"I don't even want to be a Wonderbolt." He added.

"Oh. Suit yourself." Spitfire said, walking away.

***

Well, mess hall.

Bulletin board.

Everyone was huddled around it...

Rainbow Dash was about to see it.

A few mares, Cloudchaser and Meadow Flower were leaving.

"So, which one of you lucky gals gets to be MY wingpony?" She asked them boastfully.

...The two just stared giggling.

"What?" Rainbow Dash asked defensively.

"Eh, you might want to check the wall." Cloudchaser said.

Well, Rainbow Dash did just that, and-

"A wingpony?" She asked, her pride being shattered.

Lightning Dust was her partner...

So she came to her side.

"They made us a team! Isn't that awesome?" She asked.

Rainbow Dash forced a smile, but obviously was devastated.

***

Gohan was in Rainbow Dash's bunk room, just sitting on the floor and reading a book.

It was on basic magic.

'So that's the process of a unicorn's horn.' He thought.

Then the door slammed open.

Gohan quickly looked up.

"Oh, hey Rainb- Is something wrong?" He asked.

"Yeah! Did you see this?" Rainbow Dash asked, throwing the paper at him.

It slowly fell down to Gohan's lap, and he read it.

"Uh... What's the problem, exactly...?" He asked.

...

"Are you serious!? I'm a wingpony!" Rainbow Dash said.

"...Oh. Wingman. I see. You wanted to be the leader?" Gohan asked.

"Well, obviously! I broke an academy record, I deserve to be a leader!" Rainbow Dash said.

"Calm down! Calm down! It's not that big of a deal!" Gohan said.

"Not that big of a deal!? It's a huge deal!" Rainbow Dash said.

"Look, you're with Lightning Dust, the same pony who is almost as good as you." Gohan said.

"Thank you." Rainbow Dash said.

"But if you're together, it won't matter who's wingpony or not, you're both incredible. If you really want to be a leader that badly, then you'll jut have to impress Spitfire." Gohan said.

"B-But..." Rainbow Dash said.

"Look, think of it as the first step to becoming a Wonderbolt. Besides, it's only a matter of time until you become a Wonderbolt, Spitfire already likes your abilities." Gohan said.

"Hmm... Thanks... I needed that." Rainbow Dash said.

"Good. Now, when's the next round of training? I was told to be there." Gohan said.

***

Well, outside.

Everyone was ready for some training.

"Today you will all be participating in a flag hunt. We'll divide you into two teams, red... and blue. Whoever finds the most flags of the opposing team's color wins." Spitfire said.

"Huh. That sounds reasonable." Gohan said.

"Oh, this is gonna be so much fun!" Meadow Flower said.

"If you think this is gonna to be fun, you are sadly mistaken. This is for training purposes. This is not recess. Lead ponies and wingponies must fly together. If any pair splits apart, they will be immediately disqualified. Do you understand?" Spitfire asked.

"Yes ma'am!" Everyone yelled.

"Then let's go!" Spitfire yelled.

She blew the whistle, and everyone was flying.

Poof.

"...Huh. That's some speed." Gohan said.

Now the ponies were looking around for flags...

Rainbow Dash and Lightning Dust were way ahead of the competition.

However, Lightning Dust isn't exactly a team player...

So she left Rainbow Dash in the dust.

Get it?

I'll leave now.

Well, it's just that Lightning Dust wouldn't communicate with Rainbow Dash.

So whenever she took a sharp turn, Rainbow Dash was left behind.

And if they split apart, they're disqualified...

So Rainbow Dash had to pick up the pace.

Once she finally caught up...

"You spotted any flags yet?" Lightning Dust asked.

"Not yet!" Rainbow Dash said.

Then she noticed a flag in a crevice.

"There's one!" She said.

Logs were blocking the entrance, so whoever wanted to enter had to shift.

"Good eye!" Lightning Dust said, darting off.

Both of them were headed at the flag.

"We should slow down. It doesn't look like both of us can make it at this speed!" Rainbow Dash said.

Lightning Dust didn't heed her words.

So she put Rainbow Dash behind her.

So that blocked her view...

Once they had to shift into a standing position, Rainbow Dash couldn't aim herself properly.

Lightning Dust passed the logs easily, but Rainbow Dash was a little off, and hurt her wing.

Lightning Dust took the flag, and raced off.

Rainbow Dash, with a broken bone in her wing, tried to keep up.

They both landed in front of Spitfire, with Rainbow Dash lagging behind a bit.

"Lightning Dust and Rainbow Dash found the first flag!" Spitfire said.

Gohan noticed Rainbow Dash's injury...

"Come on! Let's find some more!" Lightning Dust said, ready to take off.

Rainbow Dash wasn't exactly comfortable yet...

But, Gohan did something about it.

"Rainbow Dash." He said, getting her attention.

"Senzu bean!" He yelled, throwing a senzu bean right at her.

She caught it with her hoof.

"Ooh! Thanks!" Rainbow Dash said, eating of it.

Now her broken wing was fixed!

"You're fine!" Lightning Dust said, flying off.

Rainbow Dash zoomed after her.

...

"What was that?" Spitfire asked.

"I saw Rainbow Dash with a broken bone connected to one of the extensor longus digiti majorus, flexor digitorum superficialis and the flexor digitorum profundus, which are all required for flight. If she flew for even a few more seconds with that broken bone, then she probably would've lost the ability to fly properly for the rest of her life. I healed her with these senzu beans." Gohan explained thoroughly.

He held out a pouch of senzu beans.

...

Spitfire just stood there, completely shocked.

"...I studied up on pegasus anatomy. I'm a fighter, but I'm also an avid reader!" Gohan said with a bright smile.

...

"...I'm not even going to question that. If you took the test, you would've been in the Wonderbolts by now." Spitfire said.

"What?" Gohan asked.

***

Pinkie was still looking at the mail...

...

Has she even slept for these three days?

...

Then she gasped!

The mailpony!

"I've got a letter from-" He said, before Pinkie swiped that letter.

"Ooh!" Pinkie squealed.

She ripped open the letter, and pulled out the paper inside...

...

"YAY!" She screamed.

The rest of the Mane 6 looked from afar...

"She's been at it for three days..." Rarity said.

"At least she finally got a letter." Fluttershy said.

Back to Pinkie.

"But wait! It's from Gohan, though! Rainbow Dash didn't even sign the letter! Which means she probably never even looked at this letter! Which also probably means she forgot about us! And-"

The rest of the Mane 6 all sighed.

"She's back at it again..." Applejack said.

"I just wish there was some way to help her..." Fluttershy said.

Then Pinkie appeared behind them out from nowhere.

"Help me? The only thing that could possibly help me right now is a letter from Rainbow Dash!" Pinkie said.

"...Didn't you already get one?" Twilight asked.

"No, it was from Gohan! I'm glad he still remembers us, but Rainbow Dash didn't even sign it! It's been three days already. By now, she probably doesn't even know our names anymore! She probably can't remember our faces! "Pinkie Pie? I never heard of a Pinkie Pie! Who is Pinkie Pie?" She overreacted.

...

"Well, if you're so worried, then why don't you send her a letter first?" Twilight asked.

Then Pinkie perked up.

"Of course! That's a great idea!" She said.

Then everyone else had a sigh of relief...

"Oh wait! I got an even better idea! How about we send Rainbow Dash a care package? You know, before she forgets all about us? Although, come on, let's face it. It's probably too late for that. But, uh, maybe it'll jog her memory somehow." Pinkie said.

Damn it, I thought this would work. And I'm the damn writer.

"Pinkie Pie, I'm sure Rainbow Dash still remembers our faces and who we are. But I think sending her a care package is a great idea." Twilight said.

"A care package it is! We'll send it through the mail!" Pinkie said excitedly.

Twilight silently sighed.

"WAIT!"

DAMN IT! I CAN'T CONTROL HER!

"Ah! That won't work at all!" She said.

"Why not...!?" Applejack asked.

"Because what if the package gets lost in the mail? What if somepony else gets the package by accident and then she remembers us instead of Rainbow Dash and then she becomes our new friend? And then the REAL Rainbow Dash won't ever know that she used to have friends and she forgot them!" Pinkie sputtered.

...

...Can I be the first to tell her she's mentally insane?

"...Is anypony else followin' this?" Applejack asked.

Nope.

"I've got it! We'll deliver the care package to Rainbow Dash in person!" Pinkie said.

Now everyone was okay with this.

"I wouldn't mind a little trip." Rarity said.

"I'll go!" Twilight said.

"Count me in!" Applejack said.

"Me too." Fluttershy said.

"Me five!" Pinkie said.

"But don't be upset if she doesn't recognize you at first. It may take a while for her to get her memory back." She added.

Jesus Christ...

***

Well, training course.

More like obstacle course.

"Today we'll be doing our famous air obstacle course." Spitfire said.

This is like a death trap.

Well, there were cloud hoops, pink thunderclouds, and huge ass fans blowing wind.

"The object of this exercise is to work on your precision flying under extreme circumstances. And don't worry about winning. It's not a race." Spitfire said.

Lightning Dust winked at Rainbow Dash...

Challenge accepted!

"And you're going in too!" Spitfire demanded, pointing at Gohan.

"...Why?" Gohan asked.

"Because I said so. You're no more than a private, and I'm the general!" Spitfire said.

Gohan would've loved to go on about how he doesn't have a rank, and if he did, he would be a lot higher than her, but he decided-

"Yes ma'am..." He said.

He got to the starting line.

'Just stay right behind Rainbow Dash, and it'll all be fine...' He thought.

"Now everypony, get on your marks!" Spitfire yelled.

The ponies all got their goggles on.

The whistle blew!

And they're off!

Well, one pair at a time.

First two pairs went, then it was Rainbow Dash and Lightning Dust!

...Then it was Gohan.

Who flew right behind the second and third fastest here.

First, the cloud hoops had some intense winds to move around, so they had to make sure they weren't off track.

Easy enough for the first two pairs.

But then the slingshotted pink thunderclouds caught them by surprise, and slowed them down.

Lightning Dust turned to Rainbow Dash and gave her a grin.

Then she bolted off.

Rainbow Dash quickly followed.

Gohan rolled his eyes and did the same.

When it came to the pink thunderclouds...

Rainbow Dash and Lightning Dust dodged them easily.

With Gohan...

He punched them all!

Spitfire lowered her sunglasses.

"He's got guts." She muttered.

Then our pair flew at high speeds, and-

They had to slow down.

They nearly crashed into the pair in front of them.

"Ugh! Can't they go any faster? It's no good, I can't get around them!" Lightning Dust complained.

"Pfft." Gohan said, right from behind.

"It isn't that bad." He added.

"They're SO slow!" Lightning Dust said.

"Actually, moving at 17 miles per hour is a relatively fast speed for an average pegasus. You two are special cases, though. Like, speed of sound, special." Gohan said.

...

"Nerd." Rainbow Dash said plainly.

"I take pride in that." Gohan said.

"Anyway... We can still fly completely in sync and blow Spitfire's mind with our moves!" Rainbow Dash said.

"I guess..." Lightning Dust said.

The ponies in front of them passed through the hoops.

Rainbow Dash and Lightning Dust decided to style, going through the same hoop twice doing a loop de loop.

Gohan ended up passing them.

They did it twice.

And another pair ended up passing them.

Now there's a thunderstorm...

The pair in front of Gohan were slowing down, and struggling to pass.

More wing flapping!

Gohan felt sorry for them...

But didn't pass them.

Lightning Dust was annoyed.

"What are they, a couple of snails? It's just a little weather." She said.

Then thunder roared...

Now everyone was finally out of that hellhole...

The final part, really powerful fans!

"Now's our chance to pass these slowpokes!" Lightning Dust told Rainbow Dash.

Rainbow Dash wasn't exactly comfortable...

But went with it.

The two bolted, smashing into the pairs in front of them!

Ugh...

It's dirty!

The fallen pairs knocked into other pairs and totally fucked them up!

Then-

"Ow!" The two yelled.

They smashed into Gohan's feet.

Lightning Dust was annoyed at this, too.

"Oh come on! Could you be any slower!?" She yelled.

Gohan looked over his shoulder before turning around entirely.

He kept flying backwards.

"I'll have you know that this isn't a race. Stop acting so competitive." Gohan said.

"Filthy casual!" Lightning Dust said, pointing at Gohan.

"That's new." Gohan said.

"Just go faster!" Lightning Dust yelled.

"Fine!" Gohan said with an annoyed tone.

First, he had yellow aura around him.

Then, he darted away!

He was fast!

The two were shocked, but determined to beat him.

They flew over and under the winds while Gohan just passed right through.

In fact, he was trying to touch them.

He was now looking forward.

He decreased his speed for the two behind him.

They managed to catch up to him...

It was a real race...

The three were neck at neck...at neck...

Who will win!?

Aura? Rainbow? Or Lightning?

They all landed, sliding across the ground!

Well, not Gohan.

He just stopped as soon as he landed.

The other two slid all the way to Spitfire.

"Not bad! And in record time, too!" Spitfire said.

"But... If we were to call this a race, Rainbow Dash would be first." She said.

"Yes!" Rainbow Dash cheered.

"And Gohan would be second." Spitfire said.

"What!?" Lightning Dust asked.

"I don't get how I did that but okay!" Gohan called from far away.

"How!? I totally beat him!" Lightning Dust said, being totally salty.

"He clearly landed before you. But, that still doesn't mean you two were bad. Definitely made the right decision making you two a team. The others seem to have had a little trouble with the precision part of the exercise. I'd better go help sort them out. Why don't you two go hit the mess hall early?" Spitfire said.

"You too!" She yelled to Gohan.

Gohan gave a thumbs up.

Spitfire didn't know what the hell that was.

"Anyway. I'm off." Spitfire said, flying away.

"Yes ma'am!" Lightning Dust said, trotting away.

"Thank you, ma'am!" Rainbow Dash said.

...

She turned to Lightning Dust.

"Um, Lightning Dust? Next time, maybe we don't cut the other teams off like that." She said.

"Hey, you snooze, you lose! Besides, Wonderbolts are supposed to be able to recover from a spin-out. You saw them on the Dizzitron! They could use the practice. I mean, it's not OUR fault we're so much better than those other guys! Not every pony is destined to become a Wonderbolt. Only the best of the best, right?" Lightning Dust asked.

"Now hold on..." Gohan said, appearing out of nowhere.

"What do you want?" Lightning Dust asked, clearly irritated at his presence.

"That's not very sportsmanship like... Being a Wonderbolt isn't all about skills, it's also about heart." Gohan said.

"When have you EVER seen that?" Lightning Dust asked.

"In nearly every elite team. It's the teamwork! Not showing off to say that you're the coolest of the bunch." Gohan said.

"I'm going with Gohan, here." Rainbow Dash said.

"Whatever." Lightning Dust said, trotting away.

...

"Man, that was a close race!" Rainbow Dash said.

"I was giving it my all, and even with an extra mile I lost to you!" Gohan said happily...?

"Are you really happy about losing...?" Rainbow Dash asked.

"Well, no. I'm happy we settled who's actually the fastest in Equestria!" Gohan said.

"Oh... Uh... Yeah!" Rainbow Dash said.

***

Now there's a cloud destroying exercise...

Destroy the most, and your team wins.

Gohan was excluded because, well, he had projectiles.

Rainbow Dash and Lightning Dust dominated, getting 95% of the clouds compared to the rest...

Jesus, they're even stealing clouds.

Slicing and dicing, combos, yadda yadda.

...But Lightning Dust wanted to do more...

"I have an idea about how we can literally blow away our competition." She said to Rainbow Dash.

"But we're already way ahead." Rainbow Dash said, looking behind her.

The other pairs were struggling to even destroy a cloud...

"Are you in or not?" Lightning Dust asked.

Rainbow Dash thought about it...

"...I'm in." She said.

"Then follow my lead!" Lightning Dust said.

The two started flying in very quick circles...

Which turned into a tornado.

'What are they doing!?' Gohan thought.

They moved the tornado around, and destroyed nearly every cloud in sight.

...But they added a little bit too much power...

"I can't control it!" Lightning Dust said.

She ended up flying out of the tornado because she lost her balance.

Rainbow Dash tried keeping up, but also ended up flying out.

She landed right by Gohan.

Said tornado was now about to hit innocent assistants...

And it passed right through Gohan.

'That's a lotta damage.' He thought.

Rainbow Dash managed to get herself up...

Then he noticed the hot air balloon from afar...

With his friends...

And the tornado was headed straight for it.

...Shit.

"It's a twister!" Applejack said.

And it was massive.

Both Rainbow Dash and Gohan happened to say

"Uh oh."

The tornado ripped the hot air balloon apart...!

First the ropes...

The rest of the Mane 6 all tried hanging on, but...

They all ended up being hurled out.

Since only one of them can barely fly...

They all started falling and screaming.

Except the care package.

Gohan and Rainbow Dash looked to each other and nodded.

Zoom!

They were out.

They both darted at the speed of sound, trying to get below them.

"Okay, here's the plan! We-" Gohan said, but...

"I'll gather enough clouds for them to bounce off of, and maybe you can use your aura to push them to the waterfall!" Rainbow Dash said.

...

"I guess that works." Gohan said.

Rainbow Dash got about 200 feet below the falling mares.

Gohan flew upwards, and got into a position where he'd be just behind the ponies.

Rainbow Dash instantly gathered five clouds, and spun around them.

You could see the rainbow spinning around the clouds...

Rainbow Dash, in doing that, managed to combine all of the clouds together to create a sort of trampoline...

It was enough for unicorns and earth ponies to sit on, okay?

Once her friends safely landed on the cloud, Rainbow Dash 'detonated' it by spinning around it upwards.

They all flew upwards while screaming.

"That's my cue!" Gohan said.

He turned into a Super Saiyan, making his aura flare like there was no tomorrow!

Then the ponies were pushed towards the training course...

Which was concrete and dirt.

So death to all those who land.

Gohan stopped his aura.

"Crapbaskets!" He said.

But, luckily for Gohan, the rest of the ponies at the Wonderbolts Academy caught the ponies with full nelsons and bridal style...

Even the care package was saved.

But Cloudchaser, who caught Fluttershy, was a little pissed that she had wings.

All the ponies were brought safely to the ground...

Both Gohan and Rainbow Dash happened to fly down and up respectively to the same height at the same time.

"Are you guys okay?" They asked.

Then they looked to each other.

Everyone but Pinkie pretty much said

"Uh-huh."

The two flew to their friends...

Pinkie was still on the ground.

"Pinkie Pie!" Rainbow Dash said, a little concerned.

Then Pinkie looked up with a near crying face...

I mean, she looked like she was about to-

"You... REMEMBERED ME!" She said, hugging Rainbow Dash tightly.

Almost choking her...

"Of course she did. It's only been four days!" Gohan said.

"And what are you all doing here?" Rainbow Dash asked, getting Pinkie off her.

"We wanted to bring you a care package. Didn't realize you'd be in the middle of some crazy tornado drill." Applejack said.

Then Lightning Dust happened to fly in.

"That... Was... AWESOME!" She yelled.

"Awesome!?" Rainbow Dash and Gohan asked.

"My friends could have been smashed to pieces!" They both said angrily.

Then they looked to each other again.

'We just happen to say the same things, huh...' They both thought.

"Yeah... But they weren't, right?" Lightning Dust asked.

She flew up to the sky.

"Can't say the same for the clouds. We totally wiped them out with that tornado. The other cadets will have to be up there for days to bust as many as we did." She said, flying down to Rainbow Dash.

She held her hoof out for a hoof bump.

The other ponies were not happy...

"...A hoof bump? Seriously?" Rainbow Dash asked, turning it down.

"You made me clip my wing. You sent half of our class into serious tailspins on the obstacle course. You unleashed a tornado that nearly demolished my friends!" She yelled.

"Yeah. And?" Lightning Dust asked.

"Are you really that dense!?" Gohan asked.

He can't turn off the Super Saiyan with this anger...

"I get that you want to be the best. So do I! But you're going about it in the wrong way." Rainbow Dash said.

"The Wonderbolts don't seem to think so. After all, Spitfire did make me the leader and you the wingpony." Lightning Dust said.

"Except Spitfire didn't see how much of a better pony Rainbow Dash is compared to you." Gohan said.

"What was that?" Lightning Dust asked angrily.

I love how nobody is talking about how he has yellow hair.

"Leaders are supposed to show compassion. They're supposed to get along with everyone. Especially their team. However, in watching you attempt to lead, you utterly fail." Gohan said.

"I don't know what's going on in that monkey head of yours." Lightning Dust mocked.

"Rainbow Dash, you do the honors." Gohan said, crossing his arms.

"I can't express myself under this anger." He added.

"I've got this." Rainbow Dash said.

"You don't talk. You just do whatever you want and expect your teammates to read your mind. You lack compassion. It doesn't matter if you're ahead of everyone, that doesn't mean you have the authority to insult them like that. To add injury to insult, you smash into them just to prove your superiority! The final nail in the coffin? You just shrugged off almost accidentally killing five ponies today. That's just sick. A leader doesn't do any of that. In fact- Any sane pony wouldn't do something that reckless and heartless!" Rainbow Dash said.

...

...What a speech...

Is somepony clapping?

Spitfire?

"I'm very impressed with you, Rainbow Dash." She said.

...

"The Wonderbolts are looking for the best flyers in Equestria, and you're right. Being the best should never come at the expense of our fellow ponies. It's not just about pushing ourselves. It's about pushing ourselves in the right direction. You've shown that you're capable of doing just that." Spitfire said.

She walked right up to Lightning Dust, who was paralyzed with fear...

She snatched her leader badge right off!

"You're expelled. Get out." She muttered.

Her two assistants escorted her away in shock...

"You're no wingpony, Rainbow Dash. You're a leader." Spitfire said.

She removed the wingpony badge and replaced it with the leader badge...

...Then Rainbow Dash got all excited.

"OhmygoshOhmygoshOhmygoshOhmygoshOhmygosh!" She repeated, flapping her wings.

Everyone seemed to be happy for her...!

Even the fellow flyers.

"Now get out there and give me twenty!" Spitfire yelled.

"Yes ma'am!" Rainbow Dash said, flying high into the sky.

The other ponies quickly followed her.

Gohan was no longer a Super Saiyan.

He smiled.

...

"Wait!" Pinkie yelled.

"You didn't even get to open your care package!" She screamed, holding a very crushed box.

"Did I get a care package?" Gohan asked.

"No." Pinkie said.

"Aw..." Gohan said, sad...

"Just kidding!" Pinkie said, pulling out a second but equally crushed box.

"Yay!" Gohan said.

***

And then Discord returned.

Now, this one I actually bothered to do, because it's unacceptable not to.

Yeah, that's right, past me! Go fuck yourself!

***

Our usual group, The Mane 6, Spike and Gohan, were waiting on the outskirts of Ponyville.

Well, minus Fluttershy and Applejack, they were kinda gone for the moment.

They were just hanging around, waiting for Princess Celestia to arrive.

Then Pinkie spoke.

"I love it when Princess Celestia comes to Ponyville! I got my hooves shined just like Rarity for the occasion! You like?" She asked, showing off a hoof.

Rarity and Gohan looked into the hoof.

You could see your reflection as if it was a mirror without pink.

"I certainly do!" Rarity said.

"I'm surprised that this is physically possible." Gohan said.

"I'm surprised she's not here yet." Twilight said.

"What's taking her so long?" Spike asked.

"Wait... What is that?" Gohan asked.

He felt a disturbance...

Something too familiar.

"Is something wrong, darling?" Rarity asked.

"I'm getting this weird feeling... Don't mind me, continue." Gohan said.

"Where are Applejack and Fluttershy?" Twilight asked.

"Fluttershy's detained helping Applejack with a mishap at Sweet Apple Acres. They'll be along." Rarity said.

"But I still don't get why the Princess would be so late." Spike said.

"She's bringing an important visitor. That could be part of it." Twilight said.

"A visitor who's important and SLOW!" Rainbow Dash said.

"Maybe it's somepony so terribly important, she still had many more terribly important things to do before she got here." Rarity chipped in.

Then...

Spike gasped.

Gohan had a very surprised look.

"Maybe the visitor has a deer antler, a goat leg, a bat wing, and a snake tail!" Spike said.

"Yeah, right, that's Discord." Twilight said.

"It IS Discord." Gohan said.

"What?" Everyone asked.

Celestia came in through carriage, and another carriage carried a statue of Discord.

She got off the carriage and onto the ground.

Everyone stood there in complete shock.

...

Twilight was the first to speak up.

"With all due respect, Princess Celestia, HOW COULD YOU BRING DISCORD HERE!?" She asked.

Then she cleared her throat in embarrassment.

"Er, your majesty." She said.

"I'm fully aware that the last time Discord was here, he created serious havoc." Celestia said.

"So, you need me to smash him to pieces so he'll never come back?" Gohan asked.

He then instantly turned into a Super Saiyan.

The ponies all just stood back in fear.

"Because I'm MORE than willing to." He said, clearly enraged at Discord.

He cracked his fingers and his neck.

Celestia raised a hoof.

"No, that isn't needed in the slightest, Son Gohan." She said.

"Please put that away, its super duper scary!" Pinkie said.

"Oh, right, sorry." Gohan said.

He reverted.

"I understand that you may have vengeful feelings, all of you." Celestia said.

"The guy tricked me into thinking my dad hated me!" Gohan said.

"I have use for Discord's magic if it can be reformed to serve good instead of evil. This is why I've brought Discord here, because I believe that you are the ponies who can help him do just that." Celestia said.

...

"Although I'd like to argue, you do have a bit of a point..." Gohan said.

Then Spike chipped in...

"This will never work! This is a disaster! How will we ever control him!? We're doomed!" He yelled.

"Need I remind you that you have two very powerful options to stop him at your disposal? And you have the hero who did it himself right there?" Celestia asked.

"I suppose we can actually use the Elements for a second time..." Twilight said.

"If he needs reforming, then I need to get over his bad deeds... Let's try." Gohan said.

"Uh, w-w-we probably need a volunteer to run away from here right away to get the Elements. I'll do it!" Spike said, about to run off.

"No need, Spike. I have them right here, and I've cast a spell so Discord can't take them and hide them again." Celestia said.

Her guards showed a chest.

"Didn't Discord take them last time?" Gohan asked.

"Now where is Fluttershy? I believe she may know best how to begin reforming Discord." Celestia said.

"Fluttershy? Really?" Rainbow Dash asked.

"Eh, makes sense. She's the kindest pony around." Gohan said.

***

Well, Applejack and Fluttershy are talking to a beaver at a dam...

"What's he goin' on about now?" Applejack asked.

"Good news. Mr. Beaverton Beaverteeth has agreed to take his dam apart and move it." Fluttershy said.

"Well, it's about time. My apple trees are so waterlogged, I can practically hear 'em gargle!" Applejack said.

Then the beaver started complaining.

"But he says first you'll have to apologize for calling him a 'nuisance.'" Fluttershy said.

"Apologize!? He's lucky I didn't call him a varmint!" Applejack said.

The beaver responded again.

Well, here's how I think it went...

"Fack uuuuu!"

Fluttershy gasped.

"Mr. Beaverton Beaverteeth! Such language!" She scolded.

She had a mean face on.

Then she turned to Applejack.

"Fine, fine. I apologize." Applejack said.

"Bullshit!"

I-I mean, the beaver spit at her.

Applejack wanted to pound his damn face in, but Fluttershy calmed her a bit.

The beaver moved one stick...

And the whole dam went down.

***

The two made it to Ponyville, and Fluttershy was speaking to Celestia.

Gohan was taking mental notes on apologies and stuff.

"I realize that this is a tall order, but I wouldn't ask if I weren't confident you could get him to use magic obediently of his own free will." Celestia said.

"And... you really think I'll know best how to do that?" Fluttershy asked, insecure.

Celestia raised her head with a hoof, saying: "I do."

Fluttershy blushed in response.

"Now, I must return to Canterlot for Equestria's royal summit. You may release Discord when ready." Celestia said.

She flew away with her royal guard.

Twilight used her magic to pull the chest towards her.

"Okay, ponies, guess it's time to get started. Let's just hope this releasing spell works." She said.

"Or... Let's not." Spike said.

Twilight gave each pony their element with her magic.

"We'd best keep our elements on at all times 'til further notice." She said.

"Check!" The Mane 6 said.

"Gohan?" Twilight asked.

"I'm already ready." Gohan said, not thinking of what Twilight thought.

Twilight performed a spell.

It used all of the elements, causing each pony to float.

They connected again with rainbows!

They unleashed it on the stone Discord, and...

His statue cracked.

And BOOM!

Discord's back, baby!

He roared loudly!

...Which turned out to be a loud yawn.

Then he realized he could move and wiggled his whole body.

"Oh! Ooh! Ooooh! Well, it's about time somepony got me out of that prison block. What a relief!" He said.

Then he snapped his fingers, turning a squirrel into a macho man.

He eats trees now.

"Not even five seconds." Gohan said.

The ponies gasped.

"What do you think you're doing!?" Twilight asked.

Discord stretched.

"Nnnnnnnnngh... Why, stretching, of course. When you're a creature of chaos, stone bodysuits aren't your typical go to fashion choice. Nnngh... " He said, snapping his fingers.

He turned a bunny into a fucking Hulk bunny.

"Make that bunny cute again, now!" Pinkie yelled.

"Oh... He's adorable the way he is!" Discord said, petting him.

He tried eating Discord, so...

He blew a raspberry.

"You know what else is adorable? You ponies truly believe that you can reform me, and that you're putting your faith in this one here to make it happen." Discord said, pointing at Fluttershy.

"Makes me wanna pinch your little horsey cheeks..." Discord said, doing just that to Fluttershy.

"How'd you know about that!?" Twilight asked.

"And stop it!" Gohan said.

"First of all, being turned to stone doesn't keep me from hearing every word Celestia says. Although I admit it makes rolling my eyes a challenge. Second, no." Discord said.

"I REALLY won't hold back this time! I was really ready to talk it out with you!" Gohan yelled.

"Oh? All right, let's talk it out. I'm the psychologist today, it seems." Discord said, wearing glasses and grabbing a pencil and notepad.

He made a couch appear next to Gohan, but he didn't sit.

"Okay, so... You want me to apologize for trying to impersonate your father and make you think you're a murderer..." Discord said.

"H-How did you...?" Gohan asked.

"At this point, I did my research. You're a bipolar, depressed kid." Discord said with a smirk.

"What?" Gohan asked.

"Anyone can see that, especially seeing what you've been through. We could talk about it, make you learn more about yourself." Discord said.

"Enough!" Twilight yelled.

"Unless you want us to turn you back into stone, you'll zap those animals back the way they were, pronto!" She yelled.

Discord removed the couch, the glasses and the notepad.

"Oh, you wouldn't dare turn me back to stone and risk disappointing your precious princess." Discord said, crossing his arms.

He flung the pencil at a tree.

"Try us, Dip-cord!" Rainbow Dash yelled.

"You think you can treat poor defenseless animals like that and get away with it?!" Fluttershy yelled.

"You go, Fluttershy!" Rainbow Dash cheered.

"You'd best watch your step, buster, or I'll give you... the Stare!" Fluttershy said.

"The Stare? Oh no, please, not that! Anything but your disapproving eyeballs!" Discord said sarcastically.

At this point, he was laughing.

Fluttershy unleashed it!

"Oh no! No no no, stop! No, no!" Discord stopped laughing.

He was choking himself, struggling...

"I can't! Stop! I can't take it anymore! I'll do whatever you say! Because..." He said, struggling...

Then he laughed again.

"You're hilarious!" He said, slapping his knee.

"If it turns out we use Gohan or the Elements against you, I'm sure we can convince Princess Celestia it was for a good reason!" Twilight yelled.

"Yeah! Get him, Gohan!" Pinkie commanded, pointing at Discord.

Gohan got into a fighting pose.

"Oh, right. Remember these, best buddy?" Discord asked, snapping his fingers.

A Gohan clone.

"You..." Gohan said.

Then Discord chuckled before removing it from reality.

"I'm just joking, hoho!" He said.

"I was going to eviscerate you and him at the same time, and use your gastrointestinal tract as a-" "-Whoa, whoa!" Twilight interrupted Gohan.

"Keep the language down, Gohan!" Pinkie said.

"In layman's terms, its skullfu-" "-NO!" Twilight yelled.

"Okay! Okay." Gohan said.

"Okay... I'll undo the bunny." Discord said, snapping his fingers.

No more hulk bunny.

Then...

He used his tail to snap his tail fingers?

I dunno.

Then a bunch of nearby beavers had red eyes all of a sudden.

Nobody happened to notice.

"Well, it looks like I know where I'll be crashing while I'm being 'reformed...' With you, Fluttershy." He said, making Fluttershy appear in his arms.

He noogied her.

Then he started cackling.

"Oh dear..." Fluttershy said.

***

Now we're all at Fluttershy's cottage...

Discord lounged on that green couch.

Fluttershy was arranging things, like vases and such...

To be hospitable.

"He may be horrible, but that doesn't mean we have to act the same way. We should at least try to be hospitable..." She said.

Then she realized.

Angel happened to be by...

"You don't mind giving up your favorite spot on the couch, do you, Angel Bunny?" Fluttershy whispered.

Yes. Angel minds a lot.

He hopped to Discord's leg and pulled on it.

In a desperate attempt to get him off his favorite spot...

He gave up pretty easily.

So he walked away in anger.

"Oh, I'm sorry about Angel. Are you alright?" Fluttershy asked.

"Oh, yes. Thank you, Fluttershy, for your concern. If only your pony friends could be as considerate..." Discord sneered.

"Don't listen to him, Fluttershy! He's just trying to drive a wedge between us like he always does." Rainbow Dash said.

"Now WHY in the WORLD would I EVER try to do a thing like that?" Discord asked.

"So you can prevent us from having a weapon to turn you to stone?" Gohan asked.

...

"My thoughts exactly." Twilight said.

"I've NEVER thought of that!" Discord said with a smile.

"You big liar!" Rainbow Dash said.

"Now look who's the liar!" Discord said.

Now that we see him...

"Anyone can plainly see that I'm not big at all." He said.

He's like 1/20th of the couch.

Then Angel came to the couch, wanting to take back his spot...

Then Discord went back to normal size and knocked him away with his size.

In doing that, he also knocked a light over.

Fluttershy was devastated at that...

"Oops." Discord said.

He snapped his fingers to reuse the pieces...

...And made a miniature version of him in a skirt, holding a light bulb.

...Then Angel was back on the couch.

So he used his tail to knock him off again.

"I can't watch." Applejack said.

"We'll be outside." Rainbow Dash said.

"I'm staying." Gohan said.

"Suit yourself!" Rarity said.

Before Twilight walked out the door, she just had to ask Fluttershy...

"You sure you're okay with this?" Twilight asked.

"I know it's not gonna be easy, but Princess Celestia's counting on me. And... I think I actually know what to do." Fluttershy said.

"You do?" Twilight asked excitedly.

Now the real fun started...

In the background of this conversation...

Angel was trying to get on that damn couch.

He tried charging at it and failed, because Discord lifted it up.

Then Gohan came to the couch.

"I think the key is to befriend him." She said.

He grabbed on the leg tight.

Discord tried moving the couch, but that didn't work.

So he repeatedly slapped Gohan in the face with his tail.

"Being kind to him and letting him be my house guest is probably the best way to do that." Fluttershy said.

Angel tried jumping on, but Discord managed to move the couch a few feet to prevent that.

Then Gohan instantly turned into a Super Saiyan...

"You really think that'll work?" Twilight asked.

"I think it's worth a try!" Fluttershy said.

"Okay, but if you need us, all you need to do is whisper 'Help!'" Twilight said.

Discord gestured for a game of Rock Paper Scissors.

So Gohan agreed.

"Saisho wa gu! Jyanken hoi!"

Discord threw rock and Gohan threw scissors, so...

"Eyyy!" Discord cheered.

Gohan looked mildly distraught.

"...And we'll be back here with our Elements." Twilight said.

"So watch that goat-legged step of yours, pal!" She yelled at Discord.

Now he and Gohan were playing more Japanese Rock Paper Scissors.

"Haikodesho!" They both yelled, throwing rock.

Then Discord heard Twilight...

He snapped his fingers.

All of a sudden, he and Gohan were in blue suits, sitting on fancy chairs, holding cups of tea.

Discord got a blue hat, too.

"Wh-what?! Look at me! I'm practically reformed already." He said.

Twilight went outside.

Then Discord and Gohan looked at each other again...

...

"Saisho wa-"

***

Outside...

"She's really alright with him staying there?" Rarity asked.

"That's what she said." Twilight said.

"Personally, I think we should come up with a backup plan, in case this whole 'befriending' business doesn't work out." Rainbow Dash said.

"Well, our backup plans are Gohan, and if that's not good enough... I think I have just the trick." Twilight said.

***

Gohan was now a regular Saiyan, sitting on the opposite side of the couch with Discord...

Who was eating Paper out of a bowl.

With a fork.

"Discord?" Fluttershy asked, poking her head in from her kitchen.

"Oh, there you are. Listen, Discord, I just want to make sure you know that if there's anything I can do to- uh, umm, are you eating... paper?" Fluttershy asked.

Discord swallowed some paper.

"Am I? Huh, how odd of me." He said.

I mean, I used to eat paper just to gross out my friends.

It was funny.

Anyway...

"I know that paper can be eaten, but it's not exactly healthy..." Gohan said.

"Well... Uh... I'm just heading out, so you just make yourself at home while I'm gone..." Fluttershy said.

She went out the door.

Discord stuck half his body out the door with a bathrobe on.

"Bye bye! Have a nice time! Everything is fine! Bye bye!" He said.

Then he stepped back inside...

"Don't get any ideas..." Gohan said.

...

Discord snapped his fingers, and...

Now the entire house was spinning in circles, holy shit.

By that, I mean up to down, not side to side.

Things were falling and...

Shit, Fluttershy's back.

"What's going on here!?" She asked.

Apparently Discord's couch was the only thing stationary.

Fluttershy had to fly to keep on eye level...

"Discord!" Gohan yelled.

"Are you sure this isn't overdoing it? You said to make myself at home while you were gone, but I wouldn't want to overstep my bounds..." Discord said.

A book smashed into Gohan's face.

"Ow!" He yelled.

"Ngh... I did say that, so... If this makes you more comfortable... By all means, please feel free..." Fluttershy said, narrowly dodging her pottery.

"Oh, it does, very much so." Discord said.

"Fluttershy, you can't just let him destroy your house!" Gohan said.

"Oh, hush." Discord said, stuffing some paper into Gohan's mouth.

Gohan spit it out.

"This is completely asinine!" He yelled.

"I-It's fine...?" Fluttershy said.

Wasn't so sure, but...

"Oh, you're so kind." Discord said, moving his head to be beside Fluttershy.

"I always knew that you were the understanding one! Unlike those nasty friends of yours..." He muttered.

"I can hear you!" Gohan said.

Then Angel was smashed into his face.

...That rabbit clung on for dear life.

"Yes, anyhow..." Discord said.

"My friends aren't nasty!" Fluttershy yelled.

"Well of COURSE you'd say that! It just goes to show how understanding you truly are!" Discord said, massaging her shoulders...?

Then he teleported back into the couch.

"I'm actually considering this reformation thing..." He said.

Gohan managed to put Angel on his shoulder rather than his face.

"This is a little overboard!" He said.

"One of the animals could have their neck broken!" He added.

"Fluttershy! Fluttershy!" Someone called from outside.

"Oh! Twilight!" Fluttershy said.

"Wait, take Angel, he's going to be hurt in here..." Gohan said.

So Fluttershy grabbed Angel and headed outside, where...

We could see the fucking house was removed from the ground and...

Spinning in mid air.

As soon as she left the premises, and closed the door...

The house turned into an iceberg.

"Ah!" Gohan yelled.

"MY DICK IS AN ICICLE!"

Fluttershy flew down to Twilight and Spike.

And let Angel down gently.

"What's going on!? Are you okay?" Twilight asked.

"We're fine, everything's going great! Isn't it, Angel...?" Fluttershy asked.

He had the thousand yard stare, don't mind him.

"We've come to take you away from Discord! He's just terrible, and from the looks of it, completely out of control!" Twilight said.

Now the house wasn't an iceberg anymore...

"Oh, but you're wrong! We're making great progress!" Fluttershy said.

"NO WE ARE NOT!" Gohan yelled from inside the house.

"Er... Don't mind him, he's not accustomed to Discord yet..." Fluttershy said.

"It doesn't look like he's being reformed..." Spike said.

"I'm earning his trust by giving him some space to be himself..." Fluttershy said.

"The animals are going crazy in here!" Gohan yelled.

"Hate to break it to you, but he used that 'space to be himself' to tear out all the reforming spells from the library!" Spike said.

"That does explain the paper eating..." Fluttershy said.

"He ATE them!? UGH!" Twilight groaned.

"But we aren't going to need a spell! He's already considering being reformed! He said so!" Fluttershy said.

"You're actually believing him!?" Gohan asked.

"Oh, hush, you're having fun." Discord said.

"My sentiments exactly." Twilight said.

"If I'm going to be his friend, I have to start by giving him the benefit of the doubt!" Fluttershy said.

"This is too much!" Gohan yelled.

"Tell you what, bring all the ponies over for a dinner party this evening, and I'll bet his manners will have really improved by then." Fluttershy said.

"I'll even get him to put the cottage back on the ground..." She added.

"THAT'S IT!" Gohan yelled.

See, you're only looking at this from outside the cottage.

You could hear a certain aura inside...

See it through the windows. Maybe?

"YEAAAGH!"

Then the house was pushed to the ground.

"Uh..." The three responded...

Gohan opened the door...

As a Super Saiyan.

"No need... I already did it." He said.

"Oh, I would've done it myself." Discord said.

"In two hours!?" Gohan asked.

"Why yes!" Discord said, being a troll.

***

Dinner time...?

Spike and the rest of the Mane 6 were approaching the house...

"Ugh! I can't believe we're having a dinner party with Discord!" Rainbow Dash said.

In the background, we can see those beavers from before.

"This evening is sure to be a disaster. Glad I didn't bother wearing my fanciest outfit." Rarity said.

She was the only one with a dress.

"Fluttershy thinks this is the only way to reform Discord and asked us to give it a chance!" Twilight said.

Then Discord came bursting out from the door, looking like a butler.

He even has that moustache.

"Oh! Our pony guests!" He said.

Then he spit out a red carpet...?

"We're so delighted that you'd come! Please. Do come in!" He said.

...

***

This house looks different.

A dining table with pillows as seats...

"See what a beautiful job he did helping?" Fluttershy asked.

"Discord set the entire table by himself! I'm so proud!" She said.

Discord tried taking Twilight's crown...

"May I take your... Hats please?" He asked.

...

"Hang on to your Elements, girls, this is going to be bumpy night..." Twilight said.

"It was bumpy enough watching him do this." Gohan said.

Anyway...

Everyone sat down and had a plate of apple pie, potatoes and... Apples.

"As you all know, Princess Celestia hopes to have Discord use his magic for good instead of evil." Fluttershy said.

Pinkie already dug into her potatoes...

And she had a potato beard?

"Pinkie Pie? Care for some gravy?" Fluttershy asked.

"You bet!" Pinkie said.

"Allow me!" Discord said, snapping his fingers.

Then the cup of gravy grew tiny legs...?

It turned into a dog, I think...

It was barking and panting like one...

There was a drop hanging out...

"Why is the gravy defying the laws of physics...?" Gohan asked.

"Ooh! What a cute little gravy boat you are!" Pinkie said, petting it...?

"Yes you are! Yes you are!" She coddled.

The gravy licked her?

I can't tell anymore.

It poured some gravy on her plate, at least.

It ran all over the table.

"That's one creepy gravy boat if you ask me..." Rainbow Dash said.

"Oh, come on now, Dashie! You're not even giving us a chance!" Fluttershy said.

The gravy ended up pouring some of itself on Rainbow Dash to burn her.

"Hey! That's hot!" She yelled, flying up.

Discord tried containing his laughter.

"Oh- Ha... I'm so sorry!" He said.

"He did that on purpose!" Rainbow Dash said.

"Oh, I don't know about that! Mistakes happen!" Discord said.

"Oh look! Dancing candles!" He said.

There were six dancing candles on the table...

...But Rainbow Dash blew them out in an instant.

"I'm not falling for that! Discord's just trying to distract us from..." She said, before she realized that the candles were flying.

They all started poking her.

"Hey! Knock it off! Ow! I suppose THAT'S another mistake?" She asked angrily.

"No... I just think you made them mad." Discord said.

"You made inanimate objects sentient!?" Gohan asked.

"What do you expect?" Discord asked.

"There's something fishy going on..." Twilight said.

It just so happens that there was a soup terrine in the shape of a fish.

It spit tomato soup right at Twilight...

Then it hit Spike.

It moved around the table.

"Discord...?" Fluttershy asked.

"Well, it's hardly my fault, it's the soup terrine's fault that it thinks 'something fishy' is offensive..." Discord said.

"Not the dress, NOT THE DRESS!" Rarity pleaded.

It spit at the dress.

"That thing's only doing what you're making it do!" Applejack said.

Then it sprayed Gohan, and, well, he opened his mouth to drink it?

It kept going for a while...

"Let's not jump to any conclusions..." Fluttershy said.

It stopped feeding Gohan.

"He's literally laughing at this." He said.

Discord used his hands to cover his mouth, but he was clearly laughing.

"Fluttershy, can't you see what he's doing?" Rainbow Dash asked, kicking a candle away.

"He's playing innocent with you so you won't use the Elements of Harmony against him!" She said.

...Then the soup terrine sprayed her.

"Oh, well, that's a bit harsh... Isn't it?" Discord said.

Rainbow Dash covered the terrine in a dome...

"You see what I'm saying, Fluttershy? Fluttershy!" She yelled.

"You know what I see? I see that Discord's far from perfect! But I also see none of you giving him a chance!" Fluttershy said.

"I am! I'm not trying to blast or fight him!" Gohan said.

Everyone else was just complaining.

"Why do you keep cutting him so much slack!?" Rainbow Dash asked.

Fluttershy hugged Discord.

"Because that's what friends do!" She said.

Discord was a little surprised...

"We're friends?" He asked, genuinely confused.

"Why of course! I can't remember my house being this lively before you came along!" Fluttershy said.

"Oh... Well... I... I've never really had a friend before..." Discord said.

"Well, now you do!" Fluttershy said.

Everything inanimate that was moving stopped...

...But then Angel opened the window.

He tried saying something.

"N-Now is not a good time, Angel, we're having a dinner party..." Fluttershy said.

"Hold up! I think he's tryin' to tell us something!" Applejack said.

First Angle poured a cup of water on himself...

But nobody got that, so he grabbed an apple.

"Apple!" Everyone said.

Then he pointed at Applejack.

"Applejack!" Everyone said.

Nope.

He got a pitcher of apple cider and put the apple in there.

"Sweet Apple Acres?" Rarity asked.

Yes!

I'll take charades for $200.

"Flooding at Sweet Apple Acres! And we all know who's behind that, don't we?" Rainbow Dash asked, pointing at Discord.

"Who, me?" Discord asked.

He suddenly had a halo...

"Well, it might not be him, but I'm sure haloes only go on dead people." Gohan said.

***

Holy shit!

This is a fucking flood alright.

It's like another lake, Jesus.

What the hell, beavers?

They're making Hoover Dams out of wood!

Applejack's relatives were in barrels just to traverse it...

"I've never seen flooding this bad! They've built dams here before, but never like this!" Applejack said.

These fucking beavers and their dams...

Damn you!

Fluttershy tried talking, but they pretty much responded with-

"Fuck off! This is OUR dam!"

"Hell no we're not getting rid of it!"

Fluttershy gasped.

"Such language!" She said.

"It's no use... They won't listen to a word I say!" She added.

"Now we know Discord is behind this..." Gohan said.

"Obviously! Do you all think I'm a silly, gullible fool!?" Fluttershy asked.

"In this regard, you've been totally gullible!" Gohan said.

Pretty much everyone else was trying to say it nicely, but the answer was yes.

"I've just been trying to gain his friendship in any way I can! So that he'd come to trust and listen to me!" Fluttershy said.

"Hey there, Fluttershy!" Discord said from afar...

He was water skiing...

Apparently those fish soup terrines were his boats?

"Want a turn!? The water's great!" He yelled.

He glided on his head...

"Time to see if it worked..." Fluttershy said.

Discord ran onto the land.

"Fluttershy! Oh, there you are! A sight for sore eyes..." He said.

"As you can see, there's a mess down here at Sweet Apple Acres!" Fluttershy said.

"Oh, yes, awful business dam, hmm..." Discord said, drying himself with a towel.

"It IS awful! This is Applejack's home! And it's being destroyed by innocent creatures who would never be acting this way if it weren't for your reckless behavior!" Fluttershy said.

"You need to fix this!" She demanded.

"...Well, yes, very well, I will fix it! I only ask for one thing in return..." Discord said.

"Yes?" Fluttershy asked.

"I ask that you never use your element of Harmony against me!" Discord said.

...

"As a sign of our friendship!" Discord said.

"You can't be serious..." Gohan said.

Fluttershy turned to her friends, who all shook their heads.

...But, she took it off.

"I will never use my Element of Harmony against you!" She said.

She threw it down to Spike.

"Excellent!" Discord said.

He snapped his fingers.

...

What the hell!?

It's frozen over!

"There! Much better! I do prefer ice skating to water skiing!" Discord said, skating...

"Don't you!?" He asked.

Then three more Discords appeared, holding up 10 signs...

"Discord!" Fluttershy yelled.

"That's not fixing it!" She yelled, jumping onto the ice.

Discord stopped skating...

Fluttershy ran at him!

"Why I oughta...!" She yelled, before sliding way past Discord...

"Where are you going?" Discord asked.

Fluttershy couldn't really move now, but she managed to stop sliding.

Discord got in front of her.

"What's wrong, pal?" He asked.

"Don't call me your pal!" Fluttershy said.

"Oh, come skating with me! And we'll let bygones be bygones!" Discord said, making skates appear for a pony.

"Discord!" Gohan yelled.

"Oh, right, you." Discord said.

Gohan was running at him.

"I have a bone to pi-"

Suddenly, all the way from his neck to his feet, he was in a block of ice.

He stopped in place on the ice.

...

"...Really?" He asked.

He burst free, relaxing his arms and legs, and-

Damn it, again!?

"Come on!" He yelled.

Discord kept laughing.

Gohan jumped towards him, and...!

...Fell on the front.

"What are you gonna do now?" Discord asked.

"That's it! Body slam!" Gohan yelled.

"Body wha-"

Gohan threw his icey self right at Discord's face!

He got a direct hit!

So now there's a block of ice just floating there.

"How's that for nothing?" Gohan asked.

He moved himself forward and back, as if jabbing with his body.

"Ha! Ha! Hyah! I know it looks like I'm a master, but I'm really grasping to not fall off balance." He said.

"Wow... Nice hit." Spike said.

"He fixes this or goes back to being stone!" Twilight yelled.

"What she said." Gohan said.

Fluttershy had to choose...

Let Gohan go full power on Discord?

Or let Discord go free...

"...Gohan, don't attack him, please..." She said.

"What!?" Everyone but Discord asked.

Fluttershy took the tied skates by the mouth...

But she still looked pissed.

Yeah, nobody's happy.

Except Discord.

"Yes! Haha! You see? She wants to have fun with me because WE'RE friends! She doesn't want the kid to attack me because we're friends! She can't use the Elements against me because we're friends! I'm free forever!" He bragged.

Then he cackled.

"I can still defy her, you know." Gohan said.

It's funny that a floating block of ice is telling him that.

But...

"I'M... NOT! YOUR! FRIEND!" Fluttershy yelled, hurling those skates aside.

"Who cares? I can do whatever I want, whenever I want!" Discord said.

"I'm still here!" Gohan yelled.

"I'm Discord! The master of chaos!" Discord yelled.

Fluttershy was angrily trotting away.

Discord teleported so that he was skating beside her...

"You think you could boss Discord around? You think I'm just going to turn all this back because you say so? Because if I don't, I'll lose the one friend I ever had?" He asked.

Then it hit him.

He stopped skating, and...

Looked genuinely remorseful...

"Oh... Oh... W...Well played Fluttershy... Well played." He said.

He sat atop a tree...

And he undid everything with a snap.

The dam was gone and everything was back to normal.

Yes, even Gohan wasn't stuck in an ice cube anymore.

Yes!

Success!

"I like it better my way, but... I guess when you're friends, you can't exactly have things your way all the time..." Discord said.

***

We did it, America.

I know what you're saying,

"What did we do?"

"I'm not American!"

We did it.

"What?"

It.

Anyway...

Then when everyone's Cutie mark was changed, it was stupid.

But it was for the best.

Also, this is another one I should've done.

I fucking hate you, past me!

***

What beautiful day!

Gohan was soaring the skies.

The clear skies...

Nobody stopping him now.

Bright smile, having such a good time.

Holding no ball.

Nobody stop him now-

A cloud nearly smashed into him!

"What the-"

He quickly stopped in the air.

...

The clouds are flying everywhere...

"Wait, is Discord doing something again?" He said to himself.

Then some lightning came at him.

"Woah!" He yelled, punching it away.

The spark eventually disappeared from his sight.

...

"...I didn't think that was possible for me... Whatever." He said.

'Well, the clouds are erratic but not pink... I think it isn't Discord.' He thought.

And below him, in Ponyville...

Yeah, see...

Rarity was using her magic to move storm clouds all over the fucking place.

And a bunch of ponies are complaining that she sucks ass at her job.

Gohan flew down to this... scene.

Apparently it's all stupid.

The crowd was yelling at her.

"You stink!"

"We demand a better weatherpony!"

And the sorts.

He landed beside Twilight.

"Oh, thank goodness you're here." Twilight said.

"Can you explain to me what's happening...?" Gohan asked.

Then he saw Rarity's cutie mark...

It was Rainbow Dash's?

"Why...?" He asked.

"I don't know...! Rarity said Rainbow Dash was at her cottage...?" Twilight asked.

"Okay, I think I sorta get it now." Gohan said.

"You're not different, are you?" Twilight asked.

"I don't feel any different..." Gohan said.

"Neither does she..." Twilight said.

"I can only imagine how Rainbow Dash is." Gohan said.

***

Well, those two and Spike were now heading to Fluttershy's cottage.

Or...

Well, you'll see.

"I still don't know what you had to wake me up for. I love sleeping in the rain." Spike said.

"It's not about the weather, Spike. Rarity had Rainbow Dash's cutie mark and said this was Rainbow Dash's cottage." Twilight said.

"Which doesn't make sense at all." Gohan said.

They approached the door, and Twilight knocked...

Rainbow Dash poked her head out through the door.

"...Hey guys..." She said.

"Rainbow Dash, why is Rarity doing your job?" Twilight asked.

There was a loud smash.

So Rainbow Dash zipped back inside.

Gohan opened the door completely.

"And what in Equestria is going on in... here?" Twilight asked.

Every animal was out of control, holy shit.

"And you have Fluttershy's cutie mark... Crapbaskets." Gohan said.

"Gah! Can't you just get them to stand still for one moment!?" Rainbow Dash asked.

She was clearly angry with them...

"You're doing it all wrong, you need to tend to them one at a time." Gohan said.

Rainbow Dash shoved Gummy, a tiny alligator into a birdcage...

"Look." Gohan said, going to a cat that was ruining the curtains with it's claws.

"Hey there...!" He said with a dumb voice.

The cat wanted to gouge his eyes out.

"It's going to be okay..." Gohan said, petting it once.

***

Well, those three were out the door.

Gohan had a bunch of scratch marks on his face.

"Well, that was a bust. I should've remembered that Fluttershy told me that was the cat who hated petting." He said.

"Oh... I hope Fluttershy has it a bit better..." Twilight said.

"Well, she's at Sugarcube Corner... So that can't be good." Gohan said.

***

Fluttershy was trying to make a crowd of ponies laugh...

Failing miserably.

She tried blowing a balloon and letting it loose, but nobody gave a shit.

She wore a funny nose and mustache with glasses...

And still nobody gave a shit.

Someone pulled Fluttershy away before she made an even worse fool of herself.

Behind a cabinet...

Where our three were...

"Fluttershy! What are you doing?" Twilight whispered.

"I'm just doing what I normally do..." Fluttershy said.

"But you normally take care of animals." Gohan said.

"No, that's Rainbow Dash's job... I'm a disgrace at this job, but I have to do it. It's why I have my cutie mark..." Fluttershy said.

"Pinkie Pie's cutie mark, huh?" Gohan asked.

"I-I'm sorry, I have to get back to work..." Fluttershy said.

"I may not be good, but it's all I can do...!" She said optimistically.

I don't even see how that's optimistic.

She went back to fucking up even worse.

Twilight sighed.

"This isn't good... What happened to Pinkie...?" She asked.

"I don't want to answer that." Gohan said.

***

Wow, Pinkie was fucking up worse than Fluttershy.

Gohan, Twilight and Spike all watched in sorrow as they watched Pinkie fail to pick apples, move a plow, and do all sorts of farmwork.

It was just sad to watch...

I mean, Pinkie couldn't even kick the trees correctly.

She had a flat mane.

She bent her backhooves the wrong way every time she kicked a tree.

Sometimes it defied logic...?

"Pinkie..." Twilight said.

"I know, I know, I'm not kickin' it right!" Pinkie said, with a southern accent.

"...You're kicking a dead tree." Gohan said.

And yes, there were no leaves on that tree whatsoever.

"Aw, shoot. Better get to another one..." Pinkie said.

She walked away.

"This isn't good either." Spike said.

"But, she kept saying the same thing." Gohan said.

"It's what I have to do! My cutie mark says so...!"

"What about Applejack!?" Twilight asked.

Applejack's cutie mark...

Fuck.

***

Applejack was at least doing something...

But her cutie mark was Rarity's.

You know what that means?

All her dresses were like shit!

They even smelled like shit!

I mean, Filthy Frank's gonna pop up, yelling:

"IT SMELLS LIKE SHIT IN HERE!"

Anyway.

"Applejack, what the heck are you doing...?" Twilight asked.

"Making dresses... Like my cutie mark says." Applejack said.

She just broke her sewing machine.

"But that's not- Ugh..." Gohan sighed.

"Well, Rarity's stuck with the weather, so..." Twilight said.

"Do you have any idea as to how this happened? I am just lost." Gohan said.

"Well, maybe... Follow me." Twilight said, walking away.

They left the boutique...

"Come back anytime, y'all!" Applejack said.

...

"MAAAAN! IT STILL SMELLS LIKE SHIT!

***

Well, the library.

"This is bad. This is very, very bad!" Twilight said.

"You don't need to capitalize the point, we all get it." Gohan said.

"What's going on? Why is this happening?!" Spike asked.

"Last night when you were taking one of your seven-hour bubble baths..." Twilight said.

"Seven hours!? How do you do that?" Gohan asked.

"How do you train for that long?" Spike asked.

"Huh. Good point." Gohan said.

"Anyway... I got a special delivery from the princess." Twilight said.

Let's cut to last night...

***

Twilight read a letter from Celestia.

"Dear Twilight Sparkle,

The spell contained on the last page of this book is Star Swirl the Bearded's secret unfinished masterpiece." She read aloud.

She gasped excitedly.

"Ooh!"

"He was never able to get it right, and thus abandoned it. I believe you are the only pony who can understand and rewrite it.

Princess Celestia."

Then she opened the book, and flipped to the last page.

She read what was there...

"'From one to another, another to one. A mark of one's destiny singled out alone, fulfilled.' That doesn't make any sense. It doesn't even rhyme!" Twilight said.

The Elements of Harmony, which just so happened to be on display behind her, all changed colors.

Except her's.

"I cast the spell so I could find out what it was, but nothing seemed to happen." Twilight said.

Let's cut back to the present.

"But now I know something DID happen. The spell has changed the Elements of Harmony! That must be why their cutie marks are all wrong!" She said.

Those Elements were on display...

Completely wrong colors.

"So YOU did it?" Gohan asked.

"I didn't mean to...!" Twilight said, stressed out.

"I understand the feeling..." Gohan said.

'Well, sorry, dad.' He thought.

"But we can find a way." He said.

"Yeah! Just cast a counter spell to switch them back." Spike said.

Twilight looked through the book...

"There IS no counter spell!" She said.

"Then we are totally screwed." Gohan said.

"Why don't you just use that memory spell you used to fix everypony when Discord was here?" Spike asked.

"Memory can't change physical and magical attributes, Spike." Gohan said.

"Yeah! It's not their memory, it's their true self that's been altered!" Twilight said.

"Zecora's cure for the Cutie Pox?" Spike asked.

"This isn't a case of Cutie Pox." Gohan said.

"That won't work...!" Twilight said, throwing the book to Gohan.

Twilight went up the stairs to her room.

"I'm sure we can find a way, Twilight!" Gohan said.

"I don't think there's a way...!" Twilight said, stopping short.

"Well, maybe it won't be so bad. Maybe our friends will grow to like their new lives." Spike said.

"No, Spike. They're not who they are meant to be anymore. Their destinies are now changed, and it's all my fault..." Twilight said, with teary eyes.

She went into her room.

"Well, Spike, it's just you and me now." Gohan said.

"I don't know what to do." Spike said.

"Yeah... Me neither." Gohan said.

...

"...You wanna help?" He asked.

"Actually... I think I'll go to bed. I wanted to sleep in." Spike said.

So he went up those stairs.

...

'...Crapbaskets.' Gohan thought.

"Well, only one thing to do." He muttered.

He started by reading through that book Twilight had.

...No lead.

Then he started looking for any spells with cutie marks...

Went through a lot of books.

"There's NO spell related to this!?" He said to himself.

Then he sighed.

"I think I need the chalkboard." He said to himself.

***

It's been an entire day.

Twilight was moping in bed before finally going to bed.

Spike slept the entire day and night...

But he got up.

Uh... Gohan's sleeping on a pile of books.

He has bags under his eyes.

There's a chalkboard with all sorts of math.

And it's only been a day, and everyone's fucked up so bad that they're homeless and shiet.

Pinkie ruined every tree and crop down at the farm...

Fluttershy is scared of being bad at entertaining, and now resides in a fountain.

Rainbow Dash is just contemplating suicide because of all these fucking animals.

Applejack has to close down the boutique, everyone hates it.

And Rarity doesn't seem to have a home either, she's stuck in the rain.

Nobody even wants to be near her.

This is a fucked up episode, now that I think about it...

Twilight woke up, still moping.

She looked out the window...

It was raining.

...

Spike walked by...

...

"Oh, Spike, what have I done?" Twilight asked.

"Aw, come on, Twilight, you'll figure out a way to fix this. These are your friends." Spike said.

...

"You're right, Spike." Twilight said.

She got out of bed, and raced downstairs!

...To find Gohan sleeping on a pile of books.

He did a lot of math on that chalkboard.

Twilight nudged him awake.

Gohan groaned as he slightly opened his eyes.

"Good morning..." Twilight said.

"No, dad, we don't want the house smelling like bacon... Huh?" Gohan asked, actually waking up.

He sat up.

"Is it morning?" He asked.

"Yeah... It looks like you worked hard yesterday." Spike said.

"I can't find a clue. I went through all these spellbooks and nothing." Gohan said.

"I don't know how we can help our friends." He said.

"I know... They mean more to me than anything..." Twilight said, walking up to a framed photo of the seven...

...Holy shit, why is she glowing purple?

"My friends..." She said with a smile.

"Twilight...? Are you alright?" Spike asked.

"You are emitting about 10000 lumens of light! That's unusual...!" Gohan said.

Twilight had magic in her eyes now...

"I've got it! I know what to do!" She said.

"You do!?" Gohan and Spike asked.

"You managed to do it in five seconds, and it took me all day!" Gohan complained.

Twilight grabbed the Elements of Harmony and it's respective chest.

"I may not be able to remind them of who they are, but I can show them what they mean to each other." She said.

She put the Elements in the chest, while putting on her crown.

"They'll find the part of themselves that's been lost so they can help the friend they care about so much!" She said.

"That makes a lot of sense! I wonder how I never thought of that..." Gohan said.

Twilight gave the chest to Gohan.

"Come on, you too!" She said, running out the door.

"Yes ma'am!" The two yelled, following her.

***

Yeah, see...

Fluttershy had a packed bag.

She was headed towards a hot air balloon...

She gave the pilot some bits.

"Fluttershy, wait!" Twilight said.

The three got to her...

"Oh... Hey Twilight... Hey Gohan... Hey Spike..." Fluttershy said.

"Where are you going...?" Gohan asked.

"I'm moving back to Cloudsdale. I don't know what's wrong, but I can't seem to make anypony laugh." Fluttershy said, pulling out a whoopie cushion.

She deflated it, but it made a horrible sound.

"Before you go, I was wondering if you might be willing to help Rainbow Dash. She's really struggling with her animals." Twilight said.

"But... I don't really know anything about animals..." Fluttershy said.

"Well, maybe not yet, but what do you know about Rainbow Dash?" Gohan asked.

"...I... know that she's a true friend, and I'll do anything I can to help her." Fluttershy said.

"Great!" Spike said.

***

That cottage... Again.

Walking up to it...

It seemed quiet.

Then the door got banged on, and screaming was heard.

Then a bunch of animals were screaming.

"In here!" Rainbow Dash yelled.

"Rainbow Dash!" Twilight yelled.

Gohan kicked the door open, luckily not damaging it.

A bunch of animals were marching around a giant pot...

With Rainbow Dash inside.

"Help! I'm trapped!" She yelled, all tied up.

All the animals had forks and spoons...

Gohan was about to race in, but Twilight put a hoof on his shoulder.

"Hurry, Twilight! Can't you do some sort of spell to get her out?" Fluttershy asked.

"No. Fluttershy." Twilight said.

"Gohan, can't you get her out...?" Fluttershy asked.

"No, you're the only one who can help!" Gohan said.

"Rainbow Dash needs YOU!" Twilight said.

Yeah, they're about ready to cut her open.

Fluttershy gulped as she approached the animals...

"Um... Hello?" She asked.

They were all going crazy.

"Little... woodland... creatures?" Fluttershy asked.

A bear used a fucking table as a back scratcher.

Fluttershy went to a mouse.

"I know that you're all very upset and feel like giving Rainbow Dash a hard time..." She said.

Then the animals started paying attention to her.

"...But we'd all really appreciate it if you'd calm down and, um, maybe... rest for a bit?" She asked.

All of them stood at attention with her around!

Well, they were waiting for her to do something.

"Oh, Uh... look!" Fluttershy said, pulling out a salad.

"Here's some nice, juicy leaves for you to munch on. And some crunchy, munchy acorns too." She said, laying those out for the squirrels.

"Uh, wouldn't you like to take a break and have a little snack?" She asked.

All the animals dropped the weapons and silverwear...

Every animal had their food to eat...

"Aww, look at that. I guess you were all just cranky because you were hungry." Fluttershy said.

Then Angel jumped to give her a hug...

Then a few birds surrounded her.

"Oh, you are very welcome, little friends." She said.

Then the bear grabbed her to kiss her on the forehead and give her a hug...

Then she started glowing pink.

"Goodness, it's like I can understand them!" She said.

Gohan, Twilight, and Spike looked happy...

Gohan gave the chest to Spike.

"Hold it for a moment." He said, opening it.

He took out her element of Harmony...

"I... I feel strange, like... like this is what I'm meant to do, like this is who I am! My destiny!" Fluttershy said.

Gohan threw the element right at her neck!

...No, it didn't chop her head off.

Then, as soon as the necklace got on her...

She remembered EVERYTHING.

She eventually collapsed...

But got right back up.

"Wha... What happened...?" She asked.

"Fluttershy, look! Your cutie mark!" Twilight said.

Yeah...

It was back to normal!

"It worked! It worked! Oh, I'm so happy you're back to normal! Now we need your help!" She said.

"I hear a musical number coming." Gohan whispered to Spike.

"Same here." Spike said.

"I'm not a singer, so... Have fun." Gohan said.

Then Twilight started singing...

"A true, true friend helps a friend in need... A friend will be there to help them see!"

Then Fluttershy joined in...

"A true, true friend helps a friend in need! To see the light that shines from a true, true friend!" They sang.

Then Rainbow Dash spoke up.

"Um, hello? Friend trapped inside, remember?" She asked.

Gohan removed the rope for her.

Rainbow Dash flew out of the pot.

"Thanks!" She said.

***

Now we're at Ponyville, where Rarity was fucking up so badly.

"Rarity needs your help! She's trying hard, doing what she can..." Twilight sang.

Rainbow Dash didn't seem like she was willing to help...

But Fluttershy sang.

"Would you try, just give it a chance... You might find that you'll start to understand!" She sang.

Rainbow Dash flew up to kick a cloud...

Then she got the hang of it.

Now she was flying everywhere, using tornadoes to clear the skies...

"A true, true friend helps a friend in need! A friend will be there to help you see! A true, true friend helps a friend in need!" Twilight and Fluttershy sang.

Rainbow Dash started glowing red...

So Gohan opened the chest and took out her element.

He hurled that son of a bitch right into her neck!

Then all her memories came back to her...

"To see the light that shines from a true, true friend!" Twilight and Fluttershy sang.

Rainbow Dash ended up collapsing, but getting straight back up.

"Uh, what just happened?" She asked.

"There's no time to explain, but we need your help." Twilight said.

"Applejack's trying to make dresses." Gohan said.

Then Rainbow Dash knew what the hell was happening...

"Say no more!" She said.

Now our group turned to Rarity.

***

At the boutique, all boarded up and full of bad and smelly dresses...

"I'M GOING TO CALL CHILD PROTECTIVE SERVICES!"

"Applejack needs your help! She's trying hard, doing what she can..." Rainbow Dash sang.

Yeah, Applejack just broke the sewing machine again.

She really didn't know what she was doing, and started crying...

Rarity went to help!

"Would you try, just give it a chance... You might find that you'll start to understand!" Rainbow Dash sang.

Rarity started by taking the fabric and properly cutting it...

Twilight just threw out all of Applejack's dresses...

Applejack smiled at that...

"A true, true friend helps a friend in need! A friend will be there to help them see!" Rainbow Dash, Fluttershy and Twilight sang.

Rarity started making a dress of her own with different kinds of methods...

Looking at diagrams and shiet.

"A true, true friend helps a friend in need! To see the light that shines from a true, true friend!" They sang.

Gohan pulled out her element!

Why?

Now Rarity was glowing purple.

So he chucked that son of a bitch at her neck.

Then all the memories came flooding back to her...

She ended up collapsing on the table.

Her cutie mark was back...

"Oh my, what a terrible dream I had!" She said.

Then she noticed Applejack and her dress...

"...Or, maybe I'm still having it." She said.

"Rarity, Pinkie Pie is about to lose the apple farm. We need Applejack's help!" Twilight said.

"Lose the apple farm? Well we can't let that happen, now can we?" Rarity asked.

She grabbed Applejack, singing...

"Pinkie Pie is in trouble! We need to get there by her side!" She sang.

***

Now we're at the farm...

Jesus Christ, every crop is dead.

How are they gonna fix this shit?

"We can try to do what we can now! For together we can be her guide!" Rarity sang.

Applejack helped her fix that damn pipe...

Which was the start of this whole thing.

"A true, true friend helps a friend in need! A friend will be there to help them see!" Rainbow Dash, Fluttershy, Rarity and Twilight sang...

This is going to get long.

Applejack was bucking trees properly, her siblings were farming the right way...

And now she started glowing again.

Gohan grabbed the element...

"A true, true friend helps a friend in need! To see the light that shines from a true, true friend!" They sang...

Gohan hurled it at Applejack!

All the memories came back to her...

Well, no collapsing, but she has her cutie mark now.

"Yeehaw! Now that's more like it! What's next?" Applejack asked.

"The townspeople are furious. We need the old Pinkie Pie back." Gohan said.

"I'm on it. I know just the thing." Applejack said.

***

Now Applejack was carrying Pinkie into Ponyville...

Weird.

"The townspeople need you, They've been sad for a while!" Applejack sang.

Yeah, every pony is fucking mad as shit.

Just looking at each other makes them wanna kill each other.

"They march around, face a-frown, and never seem to smile! And if you feel like helpin', we'd appreciate a lot!" Applejack sang/yelled so loudly everyone can hear her.

Gohan put that damn element on her, Applejack put a funny glasses/nose/mustache mask on her and pushed her in front of the crowd.

"If you'd get up there and spread some cheer! From here to Canterlot!" Applejack sang.

Pinkie got all her memories back just like that...

"Come on ponies, I wanna see you SMILE!" Pinkie yelled, getting all her attributes back.

The poofy Mane and cutie mark...

Then all the ponies shouted-

"PINKIE!"

***

Now we're marching through the town...!

The band and chorus are playing along.

"A true, true friend helps a friend in need! A friend will be there to help them see! A true, true friend helps a friend in need! To see the light!" The Mane 6 sang...

"See the light!" The Chorus sang.

"That shines!" Everyone but the chorus sang.

"That shines!" The chorus sang.

Then Twilight pulled the rest of the Mane 6 in for a huge hug...

"From a true, true friend!" They sang.

Leaving Gohan out, eh?

He's heavy, I guess...

They all got back on the ground...

Then Twilight thought about the spell.

'A mark of one's destiny, singled out alone, fulfilled.' She thought.

Then she gasped.

"What?" Gohan asked.

"Wait a second, that's it! I understand now! I know how to fix the spell!" Twilight said.

"D-Didn't we already fix it, though...?" Gohan asked.

***

Twilight ran back into her library...

Grabbing the book, and a quill.

The rest of our gang came in and watched.

"From all of us together, together we're friends. With the marks of our destinies made one, there is magic without end!" Twilight wrote and said!

And with that, her element shines brightly.

Then it let out magical shockwaves and an even brighter light.

"50,000 lumens!" Gohan yelled.

"NERRRD!" Rainbow Dash yelled.

Then Twilight was enveloped in a white ball...

Then the rest of the Mane 6 had their Elements uncontrollably blast into the ball...

Then the brightest light came from it!

Nobody could see shit for a nanosecond.

Once they could all see...

"Was that 600,000 lumens of light?" Gohan asked.

Well, the more important question is-

"What happened!?" Fluttershy asked.

Then Twilight was gone.

Yep, she left a burn of her cutie mark behind.

"Where'd she go!?" Applejack asked.

"I mean... I think she's in that burn? I can feel her inside it, but you can't actually enter it...?" Gohan asked.

He poked it, and just as suspected...

"I'm confused." He said.

***

Welcome to a ripoff of that scene in Harry Potter!

Twilight's in some different plane of existence...

"Hello...? Where am I? What is this place?" She asked.

Her words echoed...

Then Celestia walked in out of nowhere...

"Congratulations, Twilight. I knew you could do it." She said.

Her words echoed too.

Twilight walked up to her.

"Princess... I don't understand. What did I do?" She asked.

"You did something today that's never been done before. Something even a great unicorn like Star Swirl the Bearded was not able to do, because he did not understand friendship like you do. The lessons you've learned here in Ponyville have taught you well. You have proven that you're ready, Twilight." Celestia said.

She started walking...

"Ready? Ready for what...?" Twilight asked.

Then a bunch of images of her past experiences with her friends popped up like a gallery.

Oh, shit, a musical number.

Let's just skip all that...

***

Our friends were outside the Treehouse...

At night.

"I give up, I can't tell where she is, but I can sense her." Gohan said.

Then, in the night sky...

A giant cutie mark of Twilight appeared!

It slowly shrunk and flew down in front of our group.

"Twilight?" Gohan asked.

There was a giant flash of light...

And a silhouette of Twilight...

"Is that you, Twilight?" Applejack asked.

Then we can see Twilight...

With a minor adjustment.

She got herself up...

And revealed her wings!

With even more light!

And glitter!

Everyone gasped.

"E-Evolution!? That rapid!?" Gohan asked.

Twilight didn't even understand why her wings are there...

"Wha... I-I've never seen anything like it!" Applejack said, completely flabbergasted.

Well, everyone is.

"Ha! Twilight's got wings! Awesome! A new flying buddy!" Rainbow Dash said, hugging Twilight.

She chuckled.

"Why, you've become an Alicorn. I didn't even know that was possible." Rarity said.

"That's scientifically impossible! No recorded data of an organism that large evolving so rapidly exists!" Gohan said.

"Gohan, you're too much of an egghead!" Rainbow Dash said.

"I'm not even mad... I'm just gladly shocked. Your power rose exponentially!" Gohan said.

Then Pinkie flew with a rope attached to...

The sky?

She had fake wings and a party hat as a horn...

"ALICORN PARTY!" She screamed, blowing a kazoo.

Confetti and balloons flew everywhere...

Makes no sense.

"Wow! You look just like a princess!" Fluttershy said.

"That's because she is a princess." Celestia said.

She flew in...

Yeah- Nobody understood what the fuck she just said.

"Hold on a second!" Pinkie said.

She pulled out a glass of water, drank it...

...Only to spit it out.

"...A... A princess...!?" Twilight asked.

"Since you've come to Ponyville, you've displayed the charity, compassion, devotion, integrity, optimism, and of course, the leadership of a true princess." Celestia said.

"Wait a second!" Pinkie said.

"So what's that make him?" She asked, pointing a hoof at Gohan.

"A simple minded warrior. I'm not worthy of that kind of title." Gohan said.

"But... does this mean I won't be your student anymore?" Twilight asked.

"Not in the same way as before. I'll still be here to help and guide you, but we're all your students now, too. You are an inspiration to us all, Twilight." Celestia said.

She bowed to Twilight...

So did Rarity.

Then Fluttershy...

Then Rainbow, Applejack, Pinkie, and Spike...

And Gohan got on one knee before bowing.

Twilight was still trying to take it all in...

We're throwing a lot at her.

"But... what do I do now? Is there a book about being a princess I should read?" Twilight asked.

"There will be time for all of that later." Celestia said, giggling.

***

Well...

Now, it's time...

For Equestria Girls!

Author's Notes:

Finally.

Those edits are done.

After two damn months, it's finally over, damn it!

I really hope this is a lot better than my previous pathetic excuse for a chapter...

I was in a rush to get to Equestria Girls...

But, now I somewhat rectified the mistake.

Please, tell me what you think of the new edits. I tried as hard as I could.

Equestria Girls

Author's Notes:

This is a feature chapter. Jesus that sounds stupid. Just enjoy.

Gohan, Spike and the Mane 6 were visiting the Crystal Empire!

"Whooee!" Applejack said.

"You said it. You guys watched me sleep here!" Gohan joked.

"Y-Yeah, hah!" Twilight laughed.

"And I finally left my sword at home." Gohan said.

"Your very first princess summit! You must be excited, Twilight. You should be over the moon!" Applejack said.

"Yes, I am excited, but I'm a little nervous too!" Twilight said.

"You're nervouciting! It's like you want to jump up and yell YAY ME!" Pinkie Pie said, doing that.

"But you also want to curl up into a teeny tiny ball and hide at the same time!" She said, doing that too.

"We've all been there!" Pinkie Pie said, noogieing Twilight.

"I'm there almost everyday..." Fluttershy said.

"Everything's gonna be okay, Twilight." Applejack said.

"TWILIGHT! I just realized your not wearing your crown!" Rarity said.

"It's in my bag." Twilight said.

Spike was patting the bag. Or suitcase, really.

"Just feeling a little self conscious about wearing it." Twilight said.

"Oh, don't be afraid Twilight. I know a guy who's technically a king but boasts he's a prince but doesn't do prince stuff." Gohan reassured.

"That confused me more than Pinkie." Twilight said.

"Sorry. Carry on." Gohan said.

***

The eight met the three princesses in the throne room.

"Twilight! I haven't seen you since the coronation!" Cadence said.

"We have so much to discuss. But it can wait until tomorrow." Celestia said.

"You all look tired from your journey. Now off to bed." Celestia said.

***

Each pony/person had their own room.

Gohan only packed a gi, and his formal wear along with a few bits.

He was just about ready to crash until he sensed something odd.

Everyone was rushing out of their rooms, along with another pony.

Gohan rushed to a different room where everyone was.

Twilight's crown was sent flying into a mirror!

The pony, known as Sunset Shimmer, ran in after it.

"GET BACK HERE!" Gohan yelled, dashing into the portal after her.

All the ponies gasped.

***

Gohan opened his eyes...

It was daytime despite it being Night?

Gohan got himself up.

He wasn't changed a bit.

But he did notice something different. It scared him so much.

Oh so bad.

He was at a high school!

Well, that's not so bad.

But the bad part was he saw other humans!?

"W-What!?" Gohan asked.

He began to think the mirror led him back to Earth again.

'N-Now Piccolo, Trunks and the others are going to kill me!' Gohan thought.

But he couldn't sense anyone familiar.

He would at least sense Vegeta, he would be training.

Unless he died... Whatever, he didn't want to think about it.

"W-Would anyone like to help at the animal shelter?" He heard.

Gohan looked to the other side of the statue he was beside to see...

What.

What!?

WHAT!?

WHAAAT!?

A human FLUTTERSHY!?

'H-Hang on, this could be a coincidence! Unless there's a Rainbow Dash... And an Applejack... And everyone else.' Gohan thought.

The girl sat down and began to cry.

Nobody was willing to help her at the animal shelter.

"A-Are you okay?" Gohan asked.

She looked up at Gohan.

'This is definitely Fluttershy.' Gohan thought.

"O-Oh! Uh... Hello..." Fluttershy said, looking down again.
