Chapter One: Setting the Stage
Flying high in the skies near Satan City was Goten, son of the legendary hero Goku, and protector of the planet Earth. Ever since he was little he was trained in the ways of martial arts, first by his mother Chi Chi, and then with his older brother Gohan. While he had taken a liking to fighting and had become very strong he had kind of fallen off in his training in recent years. The reason being he had been preoccupied with going out on dates, which were interesting to say the least. He didn't quite consider himself a ladies man, but he definitely had a certain way with them.
So far he had gone out with a few girls, but none of his relationships had worked out. His most recent girlfriend: Valese, had been the best one he ever had. She was kind, sweet, caring, seemingly okay with the fact that he was half alien. Unfortunately the relationship didn't work out. As soon as Valese's father heard about what Goten could do he became angry, and didn't want his daughter dating a 'freak'. So, the two were forced to break it off, which left him feeling down in the dumps.
'Well, I guess it could be worse.' He may have lost his girlfriend, but he knew there were plenty of fish in the sea, or however that expression went. And even if he could never find a girl like Valese he knew he would find someone special eventually. 'Maybe I should get back into my training.' Again, due to all the dates he didn't have much time for training, and even when he did he was always too lazy. But with his father gone it was up to him(among others) to defend the Earth, and if anyone like Baby or Omega Shenron showed up he wouldn't stand a chance.
Just then a huge explosion appeared in the middle of Satan City. It wasn't large enough to level it, but it did destroy a good chunk of it. Goten looked at the scene with wide eyes. He could hear the screams of panic and fear from down below. His eyes then scanned the city, where he could see a giant cloud of smoke and dust had formed. Like a light switch he was instantly in battle mode, and he started extending his senses to find out who was responsible. After a few seconds he spotted something hovering just above the city, and whatever it was had evil energy. Summoning his aura, he dashed to the ki signature.
The cause of the destruction was a creature that looked like someone put different animal parts on an entirely different creature. It had dark blue skin, two horns sticking out of its head, a big lizard tail, and razor sharp claws. An evil grin was plastered on its face as it prepared to unleash another energy ball on the unsuspecting city. "This is just too easy, I'm surprised master didn't just do this himself." Then, out of nowhere, a boot struck his face. The monster was sent soaring across the horizon.
The Saiyan watched as it continued flying before stopping itself, and by the looks of it the monster was fine. "He must be tougher than I thought if he took that kick so well."
Angered by the surprise attack, the creature flew to whoever attacked it. They saw some scrawny human floating in the sky, and that told them all they needed to know. Once in front of its attacker it chuckled lightly. "What do have here, a foolish human. I wasn't told you humans could fly, but I guess this makes things more interesting."
"Who are you, and why are you attacking this city?!" Goten demanded.
"A feisty one, eh? Well, my name isn't important. As for the attack on this city my master sent me to cause some chaos, and this looked like a good place to start." It stated with a dark laugh.
He narrowed his eyes at the beast. "If you're looking for a fight you should have come to me first."
"You must think you're special huh?" It looked the punk over and shook its head. "Alright fine, if you're in such a hurry to die I'll be happy to help you."
Not a moment later the half-Saiyan shifted into his battle stance. "Well then start fighting." He challenged with a smirk.
The beast growled before dashing toward the arrogant human. With his claws outstretched it tried to slash its opponent to pieces, but then all of its momentum suddenly stopped. Its now wide eyes drifted down and noticed the elbow that was lodged in its gut. As to how the human had been fast enough to strike without the monster seeing it didn't know. Before it could even try to respond a fist hit it square in the nose, sending it flying down into the already ruined city.
In the air Goten smirked lightly. 'It looks like I've still got it, but I can't let my guard down. This creature could be hiding its real power.' He was snapped out of his thoughts when his foe came charging at him again. Moving to the side, he avoided the claw aimed for his torso. He then threw a punch to the back of the monster's head, sending it to the ground once again. Instead of waiting the Saiyan aimed his left hand down and unleashed a ki blast, hitting the area where his enemy had crash landed.
A loud boom resounded throughout Satan City, and caused even more damage than the first attack. Luckily the recent blast didn't destroy any intact buildings, just the ones that had already been destroyed. After the explosion a huge cloud of dust formed, shrouding most of the city within the dust and dirt.
Unsure if that was enough to finish the job the half-Saiyan descended down into the city. As soon as his feet touched the ground he glanced around, which became easier once the smoke was gone. Everything looked even worse than before, and he couldn't help but wince lightly. "Maybe I overdid it a little." He then caught sight of the beast slowly rising from a deep crater.
Heavy breathes escaped its mouth as it did its best to stand. The blows received from the human were bad enough, but the dual crashes into the hard Earth were even worse. Then came the energy sphere, which really took its toll on the beast. Now its whole body was aching, and was caked with dirt, blood, and scars. Despite all of the injuries it couldn't help but chuckle. "M-master d-didn't think... there would be s-such st-strong fighters on this planet."
"Maybe your master should have done his homework." He stated with a grin.
"You know, I think y-you might be the one."
Goten raised an eyebrow. "What do you mean?"
The monster let out another chuckle. "Miles away from this city, in a rocky canyon, you'll find a c-cave." It stopped to cough up some blood. "You'll know what to do when you get... there..." It then fell right onto its stomach, unable to stand anymore.
Walking over to the beast he bent down and inspected its body, noticing that the injuries were worse up close. He had been taught to spare such an evil being, even though it caused destruction. Unfortunately it was already doomed, and would only suffer if it continued to live. So, he figured he would put it out of its misery. He held out his palm and unleashed a wave of energy, swallowing it whole. Once it was gone he let out a sigh.
His work done, he prepared to leave. As much as he wanted to just head home he couldn't stop thinking about the monster's dying words. If there truly was someone sending out beasts to cause destruction then it was his job to put a stop to it. Besides, if all had the same level of strength then there would be nothing to worry about. And as soon as he dealt with the situation he could return home afterwords. With his mind made up he called upon his aura and leapt into the air.
Once in the air he surveyed the surrounding areas outside of the city. A few seconds later he caught sight of a barren wasteland, and that was his next destination. Like a rocket he zoomed off toward the desolate area, leaving behind a white streak as he flew. While flying he started forming a plan. He didn't think he was going to need one, but from experience he learned it was better to be safe than sorry. And there was also the possibility of running into something stronger than himself. He didn't think about that one too much, as it seemed rather unlikely.
After several moments of flight he reached the outskirts of the wastelands. Before going any deeper he scanned the barren wilderness in search of the cave. At first glance it was hard to spot, because of all of various pillars and cliffs. To make matters worse he had no idea which cave was the right one, considering there were probably several in the area.
Realizing he was wasting time he started flying above the landscape. "It would have been nice if he gave me a better description." He muttered to himself as his eyes scanned what was bellow him. It all looked pretty much the same, and finding the right cave would be like finding a needle in a hay stack. Yet that didn't deter him. It was his job to find whoever that creature's master was, and by Dende he was going to do it!
Eventually he paused in midair, having noticed something out of the corner of his eye. It was small, but he could definitely see some kind of weird light coming from a far away cave. It certainly was odd, and he figured that that was what he was looking for. So, he flew over to the source of light. His flight led him to an isolated cave, right underneath a bit of a big cliff. Now much closer the bluish-purplish light seemed much brighter, and there was also a strange sound as well.
Curiously Goten entered the cave, being sure to have his guard up just in case. Thus far there was nothing out of the ordinary, aside from the light of course. The further in he went the brighter it became, and the noise was getting louder and louder. His eyes constantly shifted around, trying to spot anything out of the ordinary. He expected more monsters to show up, but that wasn't the case. In fact he couldn't sense anything at all. All of this was starting to worry him a little.
A few moments later he made it to the end, and to his surprise there was some kind of swirling portal on the back wall. The half-Saiyan stared at the bluish-purplish vortex blankly, having not expected to find that. "So where's this master?"
'All will be revealed, if you step through the portal.'
Instantly he turned around, but nobody was there. He extended his senses but again he was alone in the cave. It kind of creeped him out. "Where are you?!"
'Step into the portal to find out.'
Goten still had no idea where the voice was coming from, or who was speaking to him, but he wasn't going to get any answers just standing around. Part of him wanted to just leave, but another part told him to venture through the vortex. It could have been a trap, or maybe this voice was telling the truth. There was only one way to find out though.
Taking in a deep breath, Goten sprinted forward. Once in range he leapt into the swirling portal, which closed behind him right after.
"I can't believe it's finally the weekend!" A girl with cyan colored skin and long rainbow colored hair exclaimed as she and her friends walked through the streets of Canterlot. The school day had been very boring, but thankfully it was finally over!
Beside her, a girl with pink skin and darker pink poofy hair smiled brightly with pure excitement. "Yeah and we're gonna have so much fun at our slumber party tonight!" She had tossed the idea around with her friends, and they instantly accepted. She always threw the best parties, whether they were big welcoming parties, or simple ones for just her and her friends.
"Jus' try and save us some cake this time Pinkie Pie. Last time you were so sick ya couldn't even move." Noted a girl with orangish-tanish skin, long blond hair pulled into a braid at the bottom, and wearing a brown stetson on top of that.
Pinkie Pie looked to her friend with a frown. "Hey, it's not my fault they invented double chocolate cake with vanilla icing Applejack!"
Another girl, this one with tan skin and red and yellow hair, chuckled lightly. "Well as long as we don't have to take any trips to the hospital I think we'll be fine."
They all shared a nod and some laughter.
"I just hope you're all ready for the makeovers I have planned for all of you." A girl with white skin and slightly curly purple hair stated with an excited squee. It was one of her favorite things to do at a slumber party, and she couldn't wait to get her friends all dolled up.
The rainbow haired girl looked at her curiously. "Why did we agree to that again?"
"It won't be so bad Rainbow Dash." Said a girl with bright yellow skin and long pink hair.
Before any of them could say anything the ground beneath them started rumbling, nearly making them lose their balance. The rumbling lasted for a few moments before slowly coming to a stop.
"Did y'all feel that?" Applejack asked.
"Yeah, but what was it?" A girl with purple skin and blue hair(with a strand of purple and pink running down one side) asked.
Their answer came in the form of a pretty big explosion, which could be seen in the distance. They couldn't see the damage, but they were sure it was bad. Shortly after a huge wind came by and knocked them all over, as well as the everyone else in the area. Some cars and other vehicles had been flipped onto their sides, and glass windows shattered into pieces. A huge mushroom shaped cloud of smoke rose up through the city, signaling where the explosion had come from.
Getting to their feet, the seven girls looked at the giant shroud of smoke and dust. "It looks like some kind of explosion." The girl with red and yellow hair noted.
A gasp escaped the yellow skinned girl's lips. "Goodness, do you think anyone's hurt?"
"I think we have bigger problems." Rainbow told her friends as she pointed up into the sky.
Floating above Canterlot was some kind of dragon like beast with red skin. It appeared to be laughing at the destruction it was causing, finding enjoyment in making the pitiful humans suffer. A few seconds later one of its claws started glowing with red energy, signaling that it was going to attack again.
"What do we do?!" The blue haired girl shrieked.
"Calm down Twilight, now's not the time ta panic."
Twilight turned and glared at her. "How can I calm down when we're being attacked by a monster?!"
"Girls look!" The purple haired girl exclaimed as she pointed back to the sky.
Everyone glanced up just in time to the see the monster get kicked in the face by some unknown person. The monster was sent flying across the horizon, while the mysterious person remained in the same spot. It was hard to see who exactly that was, but from where they were they could tell it was a man with somewhat spiky hair. The girls had no idea who this man was, but since he attacked the monster they were sure he was a good guy. They continued to watch as the monster flew back to the man, and then the two engaged in a staring contest... at least that's what it looked like.
Several moments went by and neither one moved, confusing the girls greatly. "What do you think they're doing up there?" Pinkie questioned.
Rainbow shrugged. "Beats me."
"I just hope this guy can beat him." The tan skinned girl stated.
"Us too Sunset." Applejack told her.
Suddenly, to their surprise, the man dashed forward and punched the monster in the gut, and it happened so quickly they didn't really see it. Then the man grabbed the beast by its tail and spun it around, and he moved so fast he looked like a tornado. After what felt like forever the man released his grip and the monster went flying higher into the air. What happened next shocked the onlookers even further. The man cupped his hands together, making a big blue ball of light appear. A few seconds later he fired a huge beam at the monster, swallowing it whole!
The girls stared at the scene with saucer eyes as the blue beam traveled all the way into outer space, making the sky appear dark blue. Once the beam was gone the lighting returned to normal. Due to their shock, the girls were unable to see the hero disappearing into the city. They all continued staring before collectively shaking their heads.
"Y'all saw that too right?"
Everyone nodded.
An awkward silence followed, which lasted a few seconds before being interrupted by Rainbow Dash. "That was super awesome!" She exclaimed.
Pinkie nodded rapidly. "Yeah, he totally kicked that monster's butt!"
"But who was that, and where did they come from?" Sunset asked, hoping that at least one of her friends had an answer.
"Maybe he lives in Canterlot?" The pink haired girl replied softly.
"I think we would have heard about a guy who can fly and beat up monsters if he did Fluttershy." The cyan girl said.
Fluttershy let out a sigh. "Oh, right."
"He could be from out of town." The white skinned girl suggested.
Twilight quickly realized that it was pointless to try and figure this out. There was no way any of them could know anything about him unless they talked to him, and seeing as how he left just as quickly as he came that wouldn't happen any time soon. "I think for now we should ignore it. All that matters is that he saved our lives."
"Ah guess, but what about that monster?"
"I think we'll have a similar problem." Rainbow noted.
"Well, I guess we can go back to planning our slumber party!" Pinkie shouted, making her friends chuckle lightly. "I've got so many great games for us to play..."
The last thing Goten expected when he entered the portal was to wind up in some city. At first he wondered if he was still on Earth, but he quickly removed that thought. The energy he was sensing here was different than a normal human's, even if it was somewhat similar. After figuring out that he wasn't on Earth he began wondering where he was, and why he was here of all places. Unfortunately, he didn't have much time to think due to a monster attacking the city he wound up in. And of course, it fell on him to take care of it.
Unlike last time not much damage had been caused by the monster, who looked almost exactly the same as the other one except with a different skin tone. Despite the somewhat different appearance it was no stronger than the other, and was thus easily defeated. And he killed it away from the city because he didn't want to add to the damage, or possibly kill anyone. And once he had taken care of it he quickly descended down into the city, doing so without getting noticed by anyone nearby.
As soon as Goten's feet touched the ground he took a moment to survey the damage. From the looks of it only a few buildings had been destroyed, but unfortunately some people did get caught in the attack. Luckily it wasn't a lot, but still, he felt bad for those that died. His fists were clenched into balls as he noticed people coming to observe the damage. This was when he truly realized he was on another planet.
While the people looked like humans they obviously weren't, judging by all the various skin colors they were. Never before had he seen blue, pink, yellow, orange, or red humans before, and there were more colors too. Their eyes were also much larger than what he was used to. It was very strange, and only added to his confusion. If it weren't for the human like appearance he would have sworn they were aliens, although they very well could have been.
"Look at the size of that crater." A man with light blue skin and white hair stated with a whistle.
A woman with teal skin nodded. "It was that awful creature in the sky, it caused the destruction."
"But where did it go?" Another man with grey skin wondered aloud.
"It was that man in the sky, he saved us all!"
The half-Saiyan had left at this point, not wanting to stare at the destruction anymore. So he turned around and headed into the opposite direction. His first priority was to try and find out where he was, which seemed easier said than done. What came to mind first was going to the library, but he had no idea where that was, or if there even was one. He furrowed his brow as he continued walking forward. 'I guess I can always ask someone.'
He noticed a man wearing a suit, appearing to be waiting for a bus. Smiling to himself, Goten walked over to him. "Excuse me sir."
The man looked over at the stranger approaching him. "Yes?"
"I was just wondering, what planet are we on?"
"...Pardon me?" The man didn't know what this guy's deal was, and frankly he didn't want to know.
"You know, the name of this planet." Goten could tell the man was confused, but that didn't stop him from trying to get information.
"Uh... you mean Equestria?"
A big smile appeared on the Saiyan's face. "Alright, thank you!"
The man scratched his head in confusion. "Um, you're welcome." By the time he finished speaking the strange man was already gone. He continued scratching his head before shrugging. "Lot of weirdos in this city." He muttered to himself.
Now that he learned where he was Goten felt a little better. He had no idea where exactly Equestria was in the universe, but at least he had a name. Now all he needed to do was find whoever this 'master' was and stop him. It was a lot easier said than done due to the fact that he had no idea who they were or what they looked like. Hell, for all he knew they weren't even on this planet. But he quickly discouraged that thought. The portal brought him here for a reason, and he figured it had to be because of whoever sent out the monsters.
As he walked he put a hand to his chin, trying to come up with some sort of plan. Unfortunately that wasn't really his strong suit, his brother was better at that sort of thing. 'I wonder how Gohan and mom are doing?' A frown came onto his face as he wondered if he would ever return home. His only hope was if they had spaceships, or maybe there was a return portal somewhere. The former seemed plausible while the latter was a bit of a stretch. But hey, a portal brought him here in the first place, so it wasn't totally hopeless.
The half-Saiyan continued his mindless wandering before bumping into someone, causing both of them to fall over. "Sorry, I should have watched where I was going." He apologized as he stood up.
"Oh it's quite... alright..." The girl looked up and noticed just who she had bumped into, and it made her eyes go wide. It was a guy with short hair which seemed to spike up and to the right a bit. His eyes were a deep black, almost like onyx. He wore a white long sleeved shirt over a light purple one(at least that's what it looked like to her). His pants were the same shade of purple as his undershirt, which were held in place by a brown belt with a gold buckle. He appeared to be wearing some strange shoes, which were a dark tan, and the front and back a dark teal. To top it off was his smile, which was both warm and inviting.
In turn Goten was looking the girl over. She had pure white skin and big, kind of curly, purple hair with some kind of diamond barrette. She had big, deep blue eyes, which were full of lashes and covered with light blue eye shadow. She wore a light blue blouse, a light purple skirt which had three diamonds on the left front side of it. She wore a purple belt with two big light blue rings on the front. On her feet were two purple boots, with the upper parts being a few shades lighter and each boot having a diamond embedded in the center. On her wrists were two golden bracelets, and she also had a dark blue backpack on.
Both found themselves staring at the other, unaware of what they were doing.
This continued for a few moments before he shook his head lightly. "Hi I'm Goten." He extended his hand.
The girl tried to introduce herself, but all that came out of her mouth as inaudible babbling. Eventually she found her words, only after receiving a confused look. "I'm... R-Rarity." She fumbled with her introduction and clumsily shook his hand.
"Sorry again about knocking you over." He said as he took his hand back.
"Don't worry about it dear, we can all be clumsy at times." Rarity told him with a sheepish chuckle before dusting off her clothes. She then looked him over again, just now noticing his athletic frame. It was hard to tell with his shirt on, but she could have sworn she noticed some muscles adorning his body. Overall he was cute... okay, very cute.
It was then that an idea came into his head, unaware he was being checked out. "Hey listen, I'm kind of new in town and I was wondering if you could give me a tour?" He asked as politely as he could.
The request caught the purple haired girl off guard, and she couldn't respond right away. An incredibly cute guy just asked her for a tour! On the inside she was squealing with delight, but she was able to contain herself. She was a lady after all, even if she was acting like such a school girl at the moment. And since there was plenty of time before the big slumber party who was she to say no? "I'd be delighted too darling." It was then that she realized he looked familiar, almost like that mysterious hero who showed up earlier today, if only because of the spiky hair. 'Come now Rarity, there's no way he could be the same man who beat that monster.'
Goten flashed her a bit of a goofy smile. "Great, thanks."
Rarity found her cheeks going red, so she turned away slightly. "O-of course. Well, shall we?"
In another dimension, far away from both Earth and Equestria, a being sat in his throne. Said being wasn't ordinary by any means. He was comprised of several different animal parts, almost as if someone had thrown all animals involved into a blender. His odd appearance helped give away what exactly he was, a spirit of disharmony and chaos. It was his job to spread chaos everywhere, and he always took great pleasure in doing so, in fact it became sort of a game to him.
That being said, he had recently awoken from a deep slumber and set out to rule Equestria! Of course, being an evil spirit with immense power, he could have already taken over the pitiful planet... but that would have been boring. The humans offered no kind of resistance to him, and would be easily conquered. So, he figured he would make things interesting. And so he took a peak into several different dimensions to find a worthy foe. It had been a long search but he eventually stumbled upon a planet called Earth, which was full of powerful fighters. Then all he had to do was unleash a monster and get one of the fighters to show up. In the end it ended up being the warrior known as Goten.
Once he had his target all he needed to do was lead him to a portal, which he created, that lead to Equestria. Once Goten was in Equestria he could finally set his game into motion. Sending out another monster on Canterlot was to test to make sure the portal didn't do anything weird to his subject, which luckily wasn't the case.
And sure, he had what he wanted, but he wasn't about to rush over and challenge the warrior. Mostly because his powers were still recharging, and getting Goten to Equestria had been even more draining. Instead he would bide his time, and wait for the opportunity to strike. Until then he would wait, and maybe send out some more monsters along the way.
"Well Goten... let the games begin!"
I think I'll end it off there. So yeah, I'm combining GT with Equestria Girls, which is kind of funny because both aren't well received... I like both, so there! And before you freak out, I do think its possible for Discord to exist in the Equestria Girls world. I didn't include Valese for a good reason, and I'll bet you can see why, *wink wink*. That's all for now, be sure to RandR and have a wonderful day!
