Goku's strangest adventure
A/N: This takes place right before King Piccolo's defeat in Dragonball, but before Nightmare Moon's return in My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic. Every few chapters, I will list the characters power levels as I think they'd appear in a scouter. Thanks to a reviewer, I was alerted to a mistake I made in the first release. This is an updated release, and I hope that they review this version.

Chapter 1: Goku defeats King Piccolo! A new world awaits!
Goku glared at King Piccolo as the demon held Tien in the air by his head. The young fighter was barely standing as his right leg had been injured earlier in the fight. Goku was trying to think of a way to save Tien when Piccolo bent over and picked up a rock from the ground. As he was standing back up, Piccolo spoke.
"That's it, stay right where you are. You wouldn't want to cause an accident." The demon said as he brought the rock in front of his mouth. He inhaled deeply and exhaled sharply, blowing the rock off of his palm and right into Goku's left elbow, shattering the joint and drawing blood. The rock fell to the ground as Goku grabbed his left arm with his right hand, groaning in pain. Piccolo laughed as he enjoyed Goku's suffering. "Too bad, you won't be able to use that arm anymore. Look at you, you're crying like a baby. You'll have to learn to be tougher than that. If you were more like me, you could overcome anything, even pain."
Goku groaned in pain as he glared at King Piccolo. "There's no way... I want to be anything like you." He said. Piccolo smirked.
"Are you so sure?" He asked cockily.
Goku's glare intensified. "Tien, forgive me. I can't let him get away with this!" Goku said with venom.
Piccolo took a step back in shock. "What?" He asked in shock. "You fool! Don't you care about your friend's life?"
Goku removed his right arm from his left and brought it up, closing his hand into a fist. "Of course! And if I have to collect the Dragon Balls to revive him, then so be it!"
Piccolo frowned, but it quickly turned into a smirk. He started laughing as Tien smiled gratefully. "Haven't you heard? I already killed the dragon!"
This time it was Goku who was in shock. "What? That can't be! That can't be true!" He cried in disbelief.
"Ha! Why would I lie about that? Even the Eternal Dragon was no match against my power!"
"Grr. No! How could you do that?" He shouted.
Piccolo laughed. "It is over. Once I exterminate your friend, there is nothing anyone can do about it." The demon king said. He bent over and picked up a second rock. "Oh, if you move, he's finished. If you stay where you are, you're finished. Either way, you lose." Piccolo gloated. He brought the second rock to his mouth, and blew it at Goku, shattering his left kneecap and causing him to tumble to the ground. "Oh, my! That looked like it hurt!" The green giant said as he looked over Goku's fallen form. "What are you going to do? You don't have a leg to stand on anymore!" Piccolo gloatingly laughed some more. "Crawl! Like the insect you are!"
Piccolo dropped Tien's body to the ground. "Well, he's no longer useful to me, he's served his purpose. I guess I'll finish him later. Now it's your turn!" He took a step closer, still smirking. Goku continued to glare at Piccolo as the demon took to the sky. "You can't do anything now! You're completely helpless now that it is nearly over and victory will be mine!" Piccolo shouted. He stopped ascending after he was a few hundred feet up. "Only a fool would dare challenge the ruler of this dark, new world." Piccolo said. He flipped over and started charging down to the ground, right at Goku. "You're mine!" He said.
Goku smirked through the pain he was feeling. "That's what you think, buddy! I still have one arm I can use!" he shouted as he raised his right arm, hand curled into a fist, into the air. Piccolo was shocked again.
"WHAT?" Goku started yelling as he focused all his available energy into his fist, as it started glowing with power as Piccolo raced down, trying to stop the child from finishing his attack. Too soon, Goku's attack was finished charging, and he brought his energy-charged hand down under his body, pushing it up a bit. A shockwave shot out as he focused the energy into the ground. The energy formed as rings around his hand, which soon raised up into a funnel and glowed a solid white. This blast then exploded, the force pushing Goku up at breakneck speeds. Piccolo managed to stop himself just as the explosion happened. Goku curled his hand into a fist and shot off of the beam, flying at Piccolo in a reckless move.
"I'm coming at you with everything I've got!" he shouted.
Piccolo brought his arms into a cross-guard. "Good luck!" He brought his hands out in front of himself. "I'll block it." Goku continued to fly up as his power continued to grow.
"It's time for your terror to end!" As he shouted this, his power reached its peak and he thrusted his fist forward. Goku met Piccolo in a blinding flash, and when it died down, the young fighter had plowed straight through the mighty demon. Struggling to hang on to his fading life, Piccolo chuckled.
"I don't believe it. he flew right through me. How could he defeat me like that?" He brought his blood-covered hands up. "So, I underestimated his strength." Piccolo fought down a cough. "He's won, for now, but my legacy on this planet will survive." Piccolo felt something coming up as he brought his head back, but it wasn't blood. An egg was forcing itself out of the demon king's mouth, and he shot it out to the horizon. "Good luck, my son. Get revenge for my demise. Destroy all my enemies." With his final words said, Piccolo let death claim him and exploded, the fire of the explosion catching Goku and covering him in smoke as there was a flash of light.
Tien was woken by the explosion and was shocked to see Goku taken by it, too. "GOKUUUUU!" He shouted in despair.
Twilight Sparkle was walking to her home from Princess Celestia's School for Gifted Unicorns when there was a flash of light and a body dropped onto the ground. Twilight ran up to see what happened and was shocked to see what looked like a hairless monkey in a tattered outfit face-down on the ground. She struggled to get him on her back, before racing back to the school, since it was closest. She ran by many bewildered unicorns before reaching the building.
"PRINCESS CELESTIA!" Twilight shouted as she ran through the halls. "PRINCESS CELESTIA!" The purple unicorn was frantic to find the Alicorn and get her assistance, but wasn't watching where she was going and ran right into someone. With a cry and a stumble, she fell onto her flank as her passenger fell onto the ground. The other occupant of the accident only stumbled, her wings allowing her to regain balance quickly.
"Twilight Sparkle, my precious student. Whatever is the matter?" Celestia asked. She looked next to the unicorn and gasped slightly. "Is that... a human? There haven't been any humans here for thousands of years! But he looks very bad off. We should take him to the infirmary!" She said as she picked the boy up with her magic and galloped off, Twilight ran after her once she got to her hooves. They reached the infirmary with little trouble and placed the boy on the bed. He was riddled with injuries, and his gi was little more than rags.
The nurse unicorn ran some diagnostics on him and frowned. "He's lucky to be alive! His left elbow is broken, and both knees are shattered. He has three busted ribs, and a punctured lung. Not to mention he's riddled with second and third degree burns all over his body. He'll be lucky if he doesn't scar from this. The only odd thing is that the scans say he's not human."
Twilight frowned. "Still, that doesn't change that he needs help. If we all use our magic, we should be able to at least start healing him, right?" She asked.
The other two nodded before the nurse rose a hoof. "In order to do this, we'll need to get him out of these rags. We don't want to risk them fusing to any new skin we give him."
Celestia nodded but Twilight blushed deeply. "You mean, he'll need to be naked?" She asked. "I've always wanted to study the differences between our bodies, but without..." Twilight stopped talking as she saw the looks she was getting. Celestia chuckled softly.
"Twilight, I understand you're eagerness for scientific study, but such a thing should wait until he's healed and conscious." She said. Twilight nodded, blushing.
Using his magic, the unicorn nurse carefully peeled the gi off of Goku, exposing all of his injuries to the air. Twilight watched as the other two focused their magic and together, they jumpstarted the healing of various wounds. While Celestia focused on the bones, the nurse focused on the burns. After thirty minutes of non-stop focus, they got every wound jumpstarted with healing. Twiligh took in the body before her as Celestia and the nurse finished with their magic. She looked him over from head to toe as the nurse put the boy's arm and two legs in casts, but more than once, her eyes wandered, her brain taking imaginary notes. Celestia chuckled as she watched her student and shooed her protege out of the infirmary so she could speak with the nurse.
Twilight had a small smile on her face as she trotted to her tower home. She passed by various classmates trying to get her to loosen up and join them in some form of recreation, but she declined them all. She soon came to her home and her smile grew. As she entered, she was greeted by Spike and noticed a new book on her bed. Before going to it, however, she grabbed some parchment and a quill and jotted down what she remembered, creating a compare/contrast between humans and ponies. She then walked over and used her magic to pick the book on her bed up. "Legends and myths of Equestria: A Reference Guide" She read. She smiled slightly as she opened the book to the table of contents. She looked through them and frowned at the section titles. "Origin of Equestria? Tale of Two Sisters? This book seems to be about really old myths and legends. I wonder where it came from?" She thought aloud. Contrary to other ponies beliefs, she hadn't read every book in her rather expansive library. Far from it, in fact. Not knowing where it came from, she took the book and walked outside to read in the sun. She opened the book to the Tale of Two Sisters section and started reading, getting engrossed in the legend.
Meanwhile, back at the hopsital, Celestia finished talking with the nurse and left the infirmary. Several minutes later, as the nurse was cleaning the room, Goku groaned and came back to the world of the living. Expecting to be in severe pain, he was surprised to find none came, and that he was freezing. He also found out that he was unable to bend his legs and his left arm, so he was very confused. The nurse looked up and saw that Goku was awake and cantered over. Goku saw the nurse and instantly tensed. "Who are you? Where am I? Where's Piccolo?" He asked in quick succession.
The nurse chuckled and answered each question to the best of his ability. "Let's start with the second question first. You are in the infirmary of Princess Celestia's School for Gifted Unicorns. I am the nurse here. As for a piccolo, you didn't have one on you when we found you. I'm sorry." Goku frowned as he recalled what happened before he arrived.
"I guess Piccolo's dead." He frowned further as the memory came back in full. "And I killed him." The nurse frowned.
"I'm sure you had a reason to do what you did. You don't look evil. And Princess Celestia wouldn't have helped you if she sensed overwhelming evil in you. Just stay in the bed and rest while you heal. Thanks to our efforts, you should be ready to leave the infirmary in a wheelchair by tomorrow." He said, smiling at the young boy. Using his magic, he gently covered Goku with the sheet. The young Saiyan sighed as he fell into a blissful sleep, unaware that even now, his body was performing a rapid recovery, aided by the magic of the two unicorns.
While Goku was resting, Twilight was reading the book she took from her home. She had turned to the myth of the two Princesses that once ruled Equestria together. The tale told of how one princess moved the sun, and the other, the moon. But the lunar princess grew jealous of her sister's fame, and also resentful of the ponies shunning her night. Eventually, this jealousy and resentment boiled over and turned the once peaceful princess into the dreaded Nightmare Moon. The solar princess confronted the Nightmare, and was forced to use the Elements of Harmony against Nightmare. However, not being able to wield their full power, all she could do was banish Nightmare to the moon for all eternity. After that, the solar princess took control of both the sun and moon and peace reigned in Equestria, ever since.
Twilight looked up in thought after finishing the tale. Where have I heard about the Elements of Harmony before? She thought. She picked up the book with her magic and started back to her library home, her mind buzzing with thoughts. She galopped past Lyra and her friend as she headed for her tower home. After she reached and entered her tower home, she clambered up the stairs to the library, running into Spike on the way, accidentally ruining the gift he was planning to take to Moondancer's party.
"Spike, we don't have time for such things." Twilight said, pulling books down with her magic. She looked at the title of each book and dropped it when it wasn't what she was looking for. "Where's the book on the Elements of Harmony?" She asked.
While she was looking through the bookshelf on one side of the library, Spike had taken the ladder and climbed up to the very top, grabbing a book off of the shelf. He looked at the title before exclaiming, "Here it is, Twilight!" The unicorn turned around and used her magic to pull the book from the dragon's hands, causing him to fall from the ladder onto the ground.
Twilight took the book over to a desk and opened it. She found that it was more of a componium of various legendary objects and people. She leafed through it and found what she was looking for. "The Elements of Harmony - See 'Mare in the Moon'?" She looked at the mess she made. "Damn, where will I find the book that has that in this mess?" She continued to look, eventually finding it on a higher level. She galloped over to it, opening it to "M", skimming through the sections. "Ah-ha! Mare in the Moon. Legends say that on the longest day of the thousandth year, the stars will aid in her escape! Spike, Do you know what this means? The princess must be told at once! Take a letter for me." She requested of her assistant, who picked up a piece of parchment.
Twilight recited what she wanted Spike to write, and when she was finished, had him send it. After watching it be absorbed in dragon fire and disappear out the window, she started pacing. It didn't take long for her to get a response. "Open it, Spike. Please?" She asked of her assistant, who obliged.
"My faithful student,Twilight Sparkle,
You know that I value your ability for research, but you must stop reading those dusty old tomes."
Twilight was shocked. "What the hell?"
"I am sending you as an emissary to oversee preparations of the Summer Sun Celebration in this year's spot, Ponyville. While you're there, I'm giving you a special mission. Make some friends. The chariot will arrive at the tower tomorrow. Rest up so you can do the job right. I'll be sending Goku along as well. he should be healed up enough for travel by tomorrow.
Your loving teacher, Princess Celestia."
Twilight looked at Spike. "That's it? Check up on the Summer Sun Celebration and make friends? What good will friends be at a time like this?" Twilight resumed her pacing, a frown etched on her features.
Spike frowned. "The legend of the Elements of Harmony said that Princess Celestia couldn't properly utilize the Elements of Harmony, right? Maybe you need close friends for that?" The purple unicorn just continued to pace.
To be continued...
A/N: That's the end of chapter 1. I'm sorry if I didn't get Princess Celestia's signature right. Please read and review.
